Description Graeme Gemmill 2015-05-09 16:53:58 CEST

Whatever is installed under /lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.45-6...../jre is not sufficient to respond correctly to the site provided for testing mozilla plugins (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_plugins) and selecting "Java". Apart from anything else, the all-important libjpnp2.so is missing. Had to install jre-8u45 directly from the Oracle web site.
There's also a folder jvm-commmon that looks like a spelling mistake.

The jvm-common misspelling is actually from javapackages-tools, and is an upstream (Fedora) problem, so it needs to be fixed there.  It's incorrect in this file:
javapackages-4.1.0/macros.d/macros.jpackage

it happens in three places:
%_jvmcommonlibdir %{_prefix}/lib/jvm-commmon
%_jvmcommondatadir %{_datadir}/jvm-commmon
%_jvmcommonsysconfdir %{_sysconfdir}/jvm-commmon

This needs to be reported to RedHat's bugzilla and/or to their packager.

As for libjpnp2.so, that file does not exist in OpenJDK, so that's not a bug.  I guess if you need that file, you need Oracle Java, which we can't provide.

As for it not working with the plugin tests, that is not true; it does work.  In each instance you'll have to click something to allow it to run the plugin, for security reasons.

So, in summary, the jvm-commmon thing needs to be reported upstream and the rest is INVALID, so I'll mark this as such.

Oh, our javapackages-tools in Mageia 5 is from Fedora 21, BTW.
