Firefox 32 loading firefox 64 plugins..

I followed the guide on archwiki how to install a 32 chroot and then I installed Firefox, and jre. The whole reason I did this is so I could have the java web browser plugin. Now I load up Firefox32 (I'm in it right now..)
and go to about:plugins..and theres no java plugin. But it did load my flash 10 plugin from Firefox 64..

After browsing for a bit I saw this output in konsole

/home/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_nscp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory/home/lib/i386/libjavaplugin_nscp.so

..Any ideas?

This may not be what you're looking for, but IcedTea will give a 64 bit web plug-in for Firefox. It's a combination of Sun's Java code and Gnu Classpath's browser plug-in. It works great. You can either build from AUR or grab it from the French repos.

I have Icedtea installed for 64, problem is the website I'm trying to use doesn't work correctly with it.

I went though the wiki again, I forgot to do "xhost +local:" and I also installed and used dchroot and it ran Firefox and Opera fine (before opera wouldn't start), and they both loaded the java plugin..but they both crash on the site

Ah well..at least I got half of it to work.

Do you mind sharing the site to see if it works here?

Oh yeah, there's also OpenJDK in AUR which is the official development branch of Sun's next Java release.

Yea sure its right here

I'll try the OpenJDk your talking about, thanks for the tip. I'll tell you if it worked or not.

Edit:
Ergh it appears the OpenJDK is currently not compiling correctly, and its flagged out of date.

I notice that site has a signed and an unsigned applet. Does switching to the unsigned version help?

Yea but running unsigned would mean loading everything all over again, every time I went back to it.

Running signed gives them permission to write their cache to your computer.
