I am using ubuntu 14.10 and i installed jdk8 via apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk:i386. Using update-alternatives, I have made java 8 as the default one.

Now, when i checked java on firefox using this link, it showed java plugin is not working on browser.

To fix this, I tried to copy libnpjp2.so from /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-i386/lib/i386 to ~/.mozilla/plugins folder.

But i can see, the plugin so file is missing inside the jvm libs folder

How can i make java plugin work in firefox with openjdk-8?

You need to install the icedtea-plugin:i386, it will create 

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-i386/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so

which you can symlink to 

~/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
