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. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
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.
