Oracle Web Sever and Firefox

[Bratfry]

We have an Oracle Web application that works fine with the IE browser(v6). The first time a customer connects to the application the Jinitiator(v1.15.21.1 and above tested) is downloaded and the application processes.

A few of our customers now want to use Firefox(1.5) as their browser. Firefox knows it needs a plugin but can’t find it so it tells us to install it manually. The same machine, with IE, works fine after the initial download.

What is Firefox trying to tell us. Can anyone give me some clues on what to try? Has anyone got Firefox working with Oracle Web server.

Thanks

Gary

You must be up to at least Jinitiator 1.3.1 for it to work with firefox.

You can download the latest Jinitator at

I do have the lastest Jinitiator on the machine. Firefox keeps asking for the plugin and tells me to install it manually.

I can't find any information on how to install a plugin manually on Firefox.

What a mess.. Thanks

Also, to manually install a plugin, put the dll, class, or exe in the following directory.

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Then restart firefox and it will find the plugin.
