When I change my sytem (and or user) java VM and try to load firefox, I still get the same error. I've installed sun-jdk, and blackdown-jdk and jre. But firefox still tries to load from /opt/blackdown-jdk/plugins/jre/mozilla or something like that. Is there somewhere I can change firefox's java config?

This is the output if I start it from a console:
Code:
No running windows found
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/pl
gin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mo
illa/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: GetGlobalServiceManager__16nsServiceM
nagerPP17nsIServiceManager]

this is because in firefox java support is obtained by linking to the java plugin, so its probably still linked to blackdonw. IIRC java-config sets the enviroment variables pointing to your java at your choosing but if a program is using linking instread that won't work.

Ans: find the link, remove, and relink to the plugin of your choosing.
I'm not on my gentoo box so I can't tell you where the link is (it could be in several places)
