Open Oracle Application R-12 screen in Mozilla Firefox Web Browser

JRE Client Plug-in Download

The JRE Plug-in will not automatically download from the server, if the correct JRE version is not already installed on the client, when using the Firefox browser. This is due to bug 5855986, which is scheduled to be fixed in release 12.1
To workaround this problem, the user can either download and install the JRE Plug-in, before launching the Oracle E-Business Suite, or can still download it from the server as follows.

Clicking on a forms link through Firefox will activate the 'Plug-in Finder Service'. The user will then see the message 'Additional plug-ins are required to display all the media on this page' in the taskbar.

•Click on the 'Install Missing Plug-ins' button. (This will open a new window, search for the plug-in but will not find it)

•Click on the 'Manual Install' button. This will open another window which will say;
Forbidden

You don't have permissions to access /OA_JAVA/ on this server.
•In the URL line on this window change http://:/OA_JAVA to http://:/OA_HTML/oaj2se.exe.

•When asked if you wish save the oaj2se.exe file. Click the 'Save File' button and install the file onto your desktop

•Once it has installed successfully, close down the firefox window and start a new session to access the Oracle E-Business Suite.

Multiple Sessions

You may only access a single Oracle E-Business Suite instance from a single desktop session when using the Firefox browser. Currently 'Internet Explorer' is the only browser that allows you to access multiple instances or multiple Application Responsibilities concurrently from the same desktop session, through the use of multiple browser sessions.

Tab functionality in the Firefox Browser

Firefox 2.0.x uses tabbed browsing by default. This facility can also be enabled in Firefox 1.5.x from the browser menu through Tools > Options > Tabs. Forms in the Oracle E-Business Suite are supported and launched through a separate frame. Therefore, even with tabs enabled, the forms navigator and the forms windows will continue to open in a new window and not in a new tab. This is intended functionality and is not a bug.

Personal Homepage Setting

The ICX 'Personal Homepage' setting is not supported with the Firefox browser.

Rich Text Editing

The Cut, Copy and Paste buttons within the Rich text Editor on Oracle Applications Framework do not work by default when using a Firefox browser. This is due to a security feature within Firefox. We recommend that the keyboard shortcut keys, which do still work by default are used for this functionality. If you still wish to use the buttons, this can be enabled by editing the users Firefox preference file. Further information is available at,
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo and http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html.

BIDI Language Users

BIDI Languages are not supported with Self Service Applications using the Firefox Browser.

Say you have installed it to your /usr/local/java, then you would have a a plugin file : $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.
so Find the location of your firefox plugins in your firefox install directory. It will be usually available /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Make a link to the libjavaplugin_oji.so from your plugins directory.You can use the command from the firefox_plugin_directory as
ln -s /usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Now you have Java

Also add the following lines to the pluginreg.dat
