When using multiple versions of the Java Plug-in (JRE), Firefox's default behavior is to scan the Windows registry for the latest version of the Plug-in and use it. I would like for Firefox to give me the ability to select a specific version of the Java Plug-in, not the latest version that's installed on my computer. For example, if I have both JRE 1.4.3 and JRE 1.5.0 installed on my computer, I would like to set Firefox to use 1.4.3. I need Firefox to do this in thtee ways. First, I would like the setting in the Firefox browser's about:config page. Second, I want the setting to be in Tools|Options. Third, and most importantly, I want Firefox to determine which plug-in to use by looking at the <OBJECT> and/or <EMBED> tags in my HTML file.
This is urgent, so please put this in the next release of Firefox, 1.5.0.8.
Here's an example HTML page:
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Desktop</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY>
<OBJECT classid = "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0003-ABCDEFFEDCBA"
codebase = "http://MYSERVER:8000/j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe" width = 1 height = 1>
<PARAM name = code value = "MyApp.class"> <PARAM name = codebase value = "myclasses"> <PARAM name = cache_archive value = "myapp.jar"> <PARAM name = "type" value = "application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_03"> <PARAM name = "scriptable" value = "false">
<COMMENT>
<EMBED
type = "application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_03"
code = "mia.gui.main.Desktop.class"
codebase = "myclasses"
cache_archive = "myapp.jar"
pluginspage = "http://MYSERVER:8000/j2re-1_4_2_03-windows-i586-p.exe"
scriptable = false
width = 1
height = 1>
<NOEMBED>
</NOEMBED>
</EMBED> </COMMENT>
</OBJECT>
Thanks in advance.
