But I do not have a java plugin. But please note that this used to work until today when I upgraded the firmware in the IMM. That changed the java version required, so I updated that. But the FF version and config has not changed.

So you have some symlinks pointing to the openjdk with the system and some pointing the one you tried to install. I don't know how you installed this new jdk so it may be for many different reasons.> _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-- Stephen J Smoogen.

IBM said on my older FF the app/plugin is called JNLP and I should change the setting for that to 'always ask' and then when it asks use javaws - I did that but it still fails.
