[Motin <motin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Same problem... I tried running galternatives and setting java java_vm and javaws to from openjdk-1.6 to sun-1.6, restarted firefox but with no success. 
Also tried installing sun-java5-plugin from the repos and using it with no success.
Lastly, I also tried installed update 6 build 7 from java.com (using alien on the downloadable rpm), but no new alternatives became available...

I guess I should change some setting in firefox instead? Don't know...
All I want to do is to upload pictures on Facebook - and it used to work
in Gutsy... Anyone have a recipe for a work-around on this issue?

Thanks!
