The value we are setting means that firefox will try to find java versions equal or grater to 9.9, In aother words - we are disabling this feature because, it would make firefox use any newer version than 1.4.2_11 if such was installed.

Change value of parameter “” to value “ 9.9” - Firefox has some mechanism of checking what’s the latest Java version installed on the system.

This will make browser say to all the web pages: “Hello, I’m firefox 1.5.0 running on Linux”, and that will allow us avoid the initiation of Jinitiator. Enter about:config in the address bar and configure the following parameters:

Run firefox.exe from the directory you installed the browser.

I tried to use the version 3.0.3 but it crashed during loading of java plugin, so I took a previous major release. “Mozilla Firefox 1.4.2_11” (in case you’ll need to have another Firefox setup for a different version of java plugin).

Install Firefox 2.0.0.18 to directory containing version number of JRE, e.g.

I’ll refer to installation directory later using.

Download the needed JRE version (1.4.2_11 in this case) from, choose “Download J2RE”, platform “Windows”, download file “j2re-1_4_2_11-windows-i586-p.exe”) and install it._Check the value of “s_sun_plugin_ver” parameter in the context file of Oracle e-Business Suite environment you want to run forms for.My idea was to let the pop-up page that determines the way to run the forms applet “think” we are on Linux,meaning, there will be no Jinitiator, but Sun Java plugin has to be used instead, and this is how it worked: Quick googling didn’t give me the solution for these problems, so I decided to try forcing browsers using Sun Java plugin to open eBS forms (It should be possible as it’s the way how forms open on Linux workstations).

The installation of Jinitiator 1.3.1.x completes normally, but Internet Explorer crashes when I try to open eBS forms.
