I upgraded the plugin Mozilla Firebird uses by changing the symbolic link /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji to link to /usr/local/jdk1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so instead. Sure enough, about:plugins showed 1.4.1 now instead of 1.3.1. So the first place I decided to try was Yahoo Chat since I had the most quirks with it and 1.3.1. Right away, I start noticing new problems. I tried clicking on the black box to choose a font color, and Firebird crashed. Then I tried double-clicking on a name to get more info, and Firebird crashed again. Both these actions normally pop up a new small window on top of the chat session, so it seems like anything on Yahoo Chat that opens a new java box crashes Firebird. My other problem is, I can't seem to switch back to 1.3.1! I renamed libjavaplugin_oji.so to libjavaplugin_oji.so.14 and created a new libjavaplugin_oji.so link to point back to 131's ns600/libjavaplugin_oji but even closing and restarting Firebird, about:plugins still shows 1.4.1. Epiphany does the same thing. How to I switch back? Glad to see the progress though. :)
