JRE : merlin-beta_refresh b71 & b72
Browser : Netscape 6 and Netscape 6.01A
---------------------------------------
Plugin does not work correctly with Netscape 6 on Solaris using merlin-beta_refresh b71 & b72.
On Netscape 4.x, plugin works fine using merlin-beta-refresh_b71 & b72.
To reproduce;
1. Install JRE merlin-beta_refresh b71 or b72 for Solaris.
2. Create a symbolic link in the Netscape plugins directory
% cd ${NETSCAPE6}/bin/plugins
% ln -s ${JRE}/plugin/sparc/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji140.so .
3. Start Netscape6 browsers or restart Netscape6 browser a second time
4. Type at Location about plugins
Result:
In "Installed plug-ins" page, plug-in for merlin-beta-refresh_b71 or b72 does not be installed correctly. Instead, Netscape Default Plugin are indstalled. (please see attached plugin-ns6.gif).
However, with Netscape 4.x, they are installed correctly.
(please see attached plugin-ns4.7.gif)
This problem occurs only with Netscape 6.x on Solaris.
This problem not seen in merlin-beta_refresh b70.
Therefore, this is regression.
