    Hello!

    I hava problem with FF3 and you tube, I cant see any video on youtube..FF3 says me that java or flash player isn't work or is absent. I try to update Adobe Flash player but i have got any results. I would to try update/install java runtime. But I have read on posto on forum without solving my problem....Infact I have only download and install the file -rmp.bin but now i don't know how proceed. I try to read the guide but...Following the procedure, the installation was fine but after the configuration....FF3 cant open!!

    This is the guide:
    Code:
    To install the Linux RPM (self-extracting) file 
    
    Follow these instructions:
    
    At the terminal: Type:
    su 
    Enter the root password. 
    Change to the directory in which you want to install. Type:
    cd 
    For example, to install the software in the /usr/java/ directory, Type:
    cd /usr/java
    
    Note about root access: To install the JRE in a system-wide location such as/usr/local, you must login as the root user to gain the necessary permissions. If you do not have root access, install the JRE in your home directory or a subdirectory for which you have write permissions. 
    Change the permission of the file you downloaded to be executable. Type:
    chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin
    
    Start the installation process. Type:
    ./jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin
    
    This displays a binary license agreement. Read through the agreement. Press the spacebar to display the next page. At the end, enter yes to proceed with the installation.
    
    
    
    
    
    The installation file creates jre-6u<version>-linux-i586.rpm file in the current directory. 
    
    
    
    
    Run the RPM command at the terminal to install the packages. Type:
    rpm -iv jre-6u<version>-linux-i586.rpm 
    The JRE is installed in jre1.6.0_<version> sub-directory under the current directory. In this case, the JRE is installed in the /usr/java/jre1.6.0_<version> directory. Verify that the jre1.6.0_<version> sub-directory is listed under the current directory. Type:
    ls 
    
    
    
    
    
    The installation is now complete. Go to the Enable and Configure section. 
    Firefox 
    
    Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
    cd <Firefox installation directory>/plugins
    
    
    In the current directory, create a symbolic link to the JRE ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so file Type:
    ln -s <JRE installation directory>/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so 
    Example:
    
    If Firefox is installed at this directory:
    /usr/lib/firefox-1.4/ 
    And if the JRE is installed at this directory:
    /usr/java/jre1.6.0 
    Then type at the terminal to go to the browser plug-in directory:
    cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.4/plugins 
    Enter the following command to create a symbolic link to the Java Plug-in for the Mozilla browser.
    ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7
    /libjavaplugin_oji.so 
    
    In the command line above, use ns7-gcc29 if Firefox was compiled with gcc2.9.
    
    If you install Firefox 1.5 or later, you can enable the Java Console menu item in the Tools menu. Change directories to the Firefox extensions directory, then unzip ffjcext.zip there.
    
    cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.4/extensions 
    unzip /usr/java/jre1.6.0/lib/deploy/ffjcext.zip
    
    
    Start the Firefox browser, or restart it if it is already up. 
    
    In Firefox, type about:plugins in the Location bar to confirm that the Java Plugin is loaded. If the version is Firefox 1.5 or later, click the Tools menu to confirm that Java Console is there
    

    Help!

    When you installed the plugin are you sure it is in the profiles section of your Firefox folder?

    I am not a Linux expert but I have been using it for about a year or so and have gotten a few different versions working on a few different computers. I almost never use the terminal unless it is just cut an paste since I don't really know how. What distro are you using? If it is Linpus then you will need to get help on how to get it working in the more advance mode. I left Linpus and went to Onelinux a customized version of Ubuntu because I could not do what I wanted to do in Linpus. I am currently using Swiftweasel 2.0.0.12 which is a more free version of Firefox because I like what it can do better than the new version 3.x.
