[Nix-dev] Make Firefox/Chrome use OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK?

[Chad Joan]

Hi Eike,

That worked wonderfully!  Thank you.

I have updated the aforementioned wiki page's Java instructions to include
this icedtea option.
https://nixos.org/wiki/Enable_Browser_Plugins

Is there a way for me to discover other useful configuration options like
this?
