FC8/IcedTea Java Plugin/FireFox/R

[Tim Evans]

We're having trouble with R's use of the IcedTea Java plugin with FireFox
on an x64 system.

Despite passing Sun's JVM test (http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml),
R fails to load the plugin, so none of its web stuff works.

FireFox's 'about:plugins' lists the IcedTea plugin, even when the Sun
plugin is placed in the user's .mozilla/plugins directory.

How can you force-load the real Sun Java plugin instead?
