Description

The various Java plugins (particularly sun-java5 & 6) do not work in Firefox3 on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy). There has been a bug report open about this since 2007-Dec-04, but it's still not resolved. The bug is currently marked as low-urgency/undecided. Java is a must for many users as there are still a number of websites which require it. Vote this up if you feel it's important.

And it has to work with 64-bit hardy to!

I think it is unapplicable because the bug is marked as invalid in a few packages.

Is invalid bug harder to fix? :P

This bug report has been fixed 2 hours ago. The sun-java6 update should be in the ubuntu repositories in the next hours.

Thank you for posting your idea. However if you find another bug in the future that should really have a higher priority/visibility, you can go to #ubuntu-bugs in ubuntu IRC servers to ask a bug triager to look at this. You can also send a mail to a ubuntu bug triager or to the bug squad, we will be happy to look at this and speak to the good people.

Thanks again for your contribution.
