FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Versions: 1.4 and above

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : all new linux distribution
based on gcc v3.xx (Mandrake 9, Suse 8.1 etc.)


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
as told on:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java

Java support will not work if Mozilla is compiled with gcc
3.x (Bug 116444 - JRE issue, not a Mozilla issue). No
solution until Sun release a build of JRE compiled with gcc3
(1.4.2?). Possible workaround is to use a Mozilla build
compiled with gcc 2.95, such as the ones available from
mozilla.org, although this may break dependencies on newer
Linux distributions compiled with gcc 3.2 (SuSE 8.1,
Mandrake 9.0 and others).

Please update! You are losing a LOT of new users!

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1
