Dear Sir,

You would need to install icedtea-web from ports/pkgs and it should
work. The question that remains is if you are running firefox(regular)
or firefox-esr.  The regular one does not all plugins while
firefox-esr does.  I have icedtea-web + openjdk working correctly.

Best Regards,


Antonio
