Firefox 3.6 update broke my VMWare WebAccess.
Since I updated to Firefox 3.6, I have not been able to run the vmware remote console plugin anymore. Running Linux, this is a pretty important program, as there is no vSphere client for Linux.
How to run VMWare Console from the bash shell?
cd /tmp
IP=the.esx.srv.ip <em># < fill in esx server ip address here</em>
wget --no-check-certificate https://$IP/ui/plugin/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi
mv vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.zip
cd ~
mkdir -p bin/vmwareconsole <em># make directory bin in your own homedir</em>
cd bin/vmwareconsole
unzip /tmp/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.zip
cd ~/bin
ln -s vmwareconsole/plugins/vmware-vmrc . <em># make a symlink for easy access</em>
vmware-vmrc <em># run the console</em>
