Firefox 3.6 update for 64-bit linux

Hi all, after updating to Firefox 3.6 the Openoffice plugin stopped working. "Could not load the required component ... please check to make sure the appropriate extension is properly installed."

I was running a FF3.6 package from Mozilla Team's launchpad.net ppa stable that worked fine.

Everything stopped working when FF asked me whether I'd like to update to 3.6. Now I'm having trouble figuring out which FF package I'm running--the one from Ubuntu Canonical or from Mozilla Launchpad.

3 potential fixes are out there:
1. Roll back to 3.5.8
2. Point the java library to a new location for Firefox 3.6 plugins
3. Install a OOo dev xpi instead of the current beta

Can anyone shed some light on the problem? Any advice would be welcome.
  • In case you're having the same symptoms on a similar system: it turned out to be the Java plugin. Ubuntu publishes instructions on Java installation that solved the problem for me.

    The Java library was the problem. No need to roll back to 3.5.8 or use a development version of Zotero.
