Pale Moon and Java plugin

Unread post by bgstack15 » 2018-12-12, 00:05

Goal: try to get my banking website, https://usaa.com/ to work with the java plugin so I can do Deposit@Home because I'm not doing mobile deposits for reasons.

I could use the forum's help getting the elusive libnpjp2.so file. I cannot seem to figure out what rpm or tarball I need to get the file. I know where to stick it when I get it, but I cannot find it on my filesystem. I have tried searching this forum to no avail. Lots of places (https://java.com/en/download/help/enabl ... ubuntu.xml) seem to think that the file is already present. What am I missing? Do I need the Oracle non-openjdk?

This fellow [forum.palemoon.org] has the file. So what did I do wrong?

Code: Select all

I have also read:
https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/ ... -hat-rhel/ which frankly leads to the modern page https://jdk.java.net/11/ as far as I can tell.

My old Pale Moon Portable 25.7 running in 32-bit Wine on my Fedora system does work with the java plugin for the website somehow, and I can't find a npjp2 file anywhere to steal. (Of course, I realize a dll won't do me much good on Linux.)

Platform:
Fedora 28, Pale Moon 28.2.2, amd64 arch.

Try installing the icedtea-web package (if memory serves this is the package that provides the actual OpenJDK plugin).

Thank you. I have installed icedtea-web and restarted the browser. Unfortunately it didn't help me. I also checked for any .so files to symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but didn't see any (from rpm -ql icedtea-web).
