Try as I might, I could not get java to run in Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.04. Turns out to be a really simple fix.
Eirik Hoem’s Blog had the answer to my problem:
I’ve been struggling with lava support for Firefox after upgrading from Ubunut 7.10 to 8.04. All I had to do was to remove the package called icedtea-gcjwebplugin. Now, I don’t know my way around java anymore, but at least it did the trick. Worth a shot if you have problems.

Thanks! I’ve beat my head against the wayy trying to get this solved. And a simple “sudo aptitude remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin” did the trick. Thanks!

Interesting….I haven’t had Iced Tea for almost a week now, and my java still isn’t working

Johnny, what version of Ubuntu and what version of Firefox are you running?

Apparently there are some problems with Ubuntu 8.10. Not gotten around to figure it out yet.

Why does your death count down have a decimal place? It’s not possible for a fraction of a person to have died.
I’m not surprised I had to explain that though, given the links to evangelical references.
If Jesus were alive today there’s one thing he definitely wouldn’t be – a Christian.

Good point (no pun intended), Steve.
On one hand you are right. On the other you miss the point of the message and so do most church going folks today. The point is that many around us are dying and we sit here and do nothing about it. So although you are not dead (yet) you are on your way there. And the question for you is where will you go when you die? Do you think you’ve been a good person? Are you good enough to get into heaven?
