[SOLVED] No Java plugin in Firefox

Postby duder » Feb 14th, '14, 20:21

I went to a web site that required Java. So I went to the installer and installed Java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel.
However Firefox doesn't see it. I tried to go to Firefox Tools and download it under the plugins and it doesn't seem to have Java listed.
Not sure if its a FF or a Java issue/bug.
Thanks Duder
