Hi Ian: the libnpjp2.so in this location is: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 77510 2011-07-19 10:57 libnpjp2.so so it should be an executable, not a symlink pointing to other locations. > 2.

I have already removed everything from my /home/<user>/.mozilla I start suspecting that the problem may be the internet banking logon application. I continue Googling for answers, and I found one that made me suspect this. I still keep firefox-3.5.4, and I found a pervious plugin that I symlink from its plugins directory, which looks like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 76 2011-10-09 12:21 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.6/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15824 2009-10-16 18:02 libnullplugin.so [par@localhost plugins]$ In fact I now manage to log on to the internet banking application from ff-3.5.4. But newer versions of firefox seems not to function using this plugin. I am not happy with this solution, but it is better than nothing. It means that I have a (sort of) functioning bank id, and this also comes to use in other settings, fx. credit card payments. This is a secure way of identifying yourself electronically, and I cannot live without it, it seems. I also discovered something else: The java in /usr/java/jre1.6.0_27/bin/ responded like this when I tried to start it: [par@localhost bin]$ ./java Error occurred during initialization of VM java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object This error message is identical to the one I get in the terminal window when Firefox goes down after the attempt to logon to the banking application.
