Java plugin crashing in Firefox - Fedora 20












3















I have been wrestling with this for over a day now. I have a Fedora 20 physical system running Firefox 38.0.5. When I go to the java site to verify my version I get an error saying "The Java plugin has crashed". My version of java is at the latest.



Name        : jre1.8.0_60
Version : 1.8.0_60
Release : fcs
Architecture: x86_64


I also have the latest JDK installed:



yum list installed *java*
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 :1.8.0.45-40.b14.fc20
java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 1:1.8.0.45-40.b14.fc20


And more info here:



java -version
java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)


The plugin in Firefox shows: (this is from the "about:plugins" in FF)



Java(TM) Plug-in 11.60.2

File: libnpjp2.so
Path: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
Version: 11.60.2
State: Enabled
Next Generation Java Plug-in 11.60.2 for Mozilla browsers


I have done the following:



Removed, re-installed Java.
Removed, re-installed FF.
Tried different Java versions.
Tried Opera.



I am not sure what to try next. Any help is much appreciated.

  • Fedora 20 is no longer maintained. Have you tried upgrading to a supported release?

I had the same problem with Kali Linux/Iceweasel. I just updated Java to Version 8/Update 65 and it fixed it. Apparently Update 60 had an issue.
