Another question about enabling Java...
Sorry for asking same question of others, but the answers I've read were not useful for me.
Problem: Java Plugin not detected (about:plugin) in my Firefox 10.0.6. Java 1.7.0_05 installed. Java Console opened normally. symbolic link verified with readlink command: ./usr/java/jre1.7.0_05/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
Using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server v6.3 (64 bits).
Any hint of what is driving me crazy?
Thanks!

The regular Firefox 1.0.6 version is a 32 bit version,
You will have to install a 32 bit Java version and place a symlink to the 32 bit libnpjp2.so in a location that Firefox scans for plugins.

The 64 bit Java version was the cause of my headache, It is solved now. Thank you very much!
