Grrr ... Followed http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Java_and_Firefox and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_firefox_with_java_on_amd64.

Installed the blackdown jdk. Tried mozilla-firefox (with -java USE flag) and mozilla-firefox-bin. Symlinked from all possible firefox plugin folders to libjavaplugin_oji.so, but the damn plugin fails to come to life (not listed in about:plugins).

Its an AMD64.

Anybody got suggestions?

Okay, I cant explain it. I havent done a thing since I made the original post but I have just discovered that the plugin now works???

Id attribute it to rebooting, but for the fact that I tried that before I made my OP. Id love to hear suggestions as to what might have changed, but I assure you I did nothing directly that could have caused it to start working.
