I am getting vague Additional Plugins Required errors in Firefox.
When I press the Install Plugins button, it states No Suitable plugins
found.
After some investigation, I'm thinking that the web page is trying to
run a Java Script.
yum list \*java\* and yum list \*ice\* do not turn up any installed
java components.
So... what is the best java package for F16 x64 these days ?
Thanks

Javascript has nothing to do with Java.

Actually, it didn't solve all of them. I have less of them, none on
one particularly problematic page, but there are still some.
It would be REALLY nice if FF would tell you want object/plug in it is
looking for. At least give you a hint.
In *some* cases it does. Sometimes it offers to look for the
appropriate plug in. It probably doesn't work with all of them.

IIRC, installing the JRE doesn't necessarily install the plugin that
runs Java applets. Try:
sudo yum install icedtea-web

Please don't advise people to do this. If there's a page that
doesn't work with OpenJDK, we want to know. If everyone is told
to install proprietary Java, the bugs will never get fixed.

Might be better to use Oracle jre 7 rather than Sun jre 6 as the
latter is about to be obsoleted.

Which I understand is OpenJDK as standard.
