            Bug ID: 3535
           Summary: IcedTea-Web activated but not working with Waterfox on
                    FreeBSD and Linux
           Product: IcedTea-Web
           Version: 1.6.2
          Hardware: 64-bit
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Plugin
          Assignee: jvanek at redhat.com
          Reporter: grahamperrin at gmail.com
                CC: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org

Key points from <https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/issues/326>: 

a) in (old) Opera and in Pale Moon, the plug-in is functional

b) in Waterfox, the plug-in is enabled (details visible at about:plugins), and
can be activated (e.g. a click on the icon in the address bar) but it's
non-functional

c) multiple platforms affected: 

> - Waterfox 56.0.1 on FreeBSD-CURRENT
> - Waterfox 56.0.1 on Kubuntu 17.10.

Waterfox 56.0 was based on Firefox 56.0.2, and does not (or should not) use
anything from a Firefox profile. Waterfox uses: 

~/.waterfox

<https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/issues/326#issuecomment-353753822> refers
to Java console output at <pastebin.com/VHH9ing8>. I find it strange that parts
of the output referred to a Firefox profile that pre-dated installation of
Waterfox, and the path to the Firefox profile seems to be 'tangled with' part
of a Waterfox-specific path: 

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/home/grahamperrin/.mozilla/firefox/home/grahamperrin/.waterfox/g5lllcwj.test/prefs.js
(No such file or directory) …

Found preferences file:
/home/grahamperrin/.mozilla/firefox//home/grahamperrin/.waterfox/g5lllcwj.test/prefs.js

----

Please: from what's above (and at
<https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/issues/326>), 
can you tell whether this is entirely, or partly, a bug with IcedTea-Web? 

Thanks
