Hi, I'm wondering what the best solutions are right now for a full featured browser in GentooAMD64?
I use a number of Investing web sites. Some of them won't even try to run certain features telling me I'm on an unsupported OS. The ones that do try to run the features seem to fail in one area or another. Is it possible to make all 3 of these technologies work in a single browser on AMD64? 1) Java 2) Flash 3) 32-bit streaming media? It seems that if I run firefox-bin I get most Flash and streaming media, or at least as much as I think I need. However I definitely do not get Java. It seems that if I run firefox compiled for 64-bit then Flash doesn't work and I don't think all Java does either, or at least on my system. I did for a while try playing with a 32-bit chroot but that was a lot of work to use and keep up to date. I stopped using it. It's now out of date and frankly I don't even remember how to start it anymore but will go back to it if necessary. Here is a quick view of what's installed. If it's a question of USE flags I'll post back more info if needed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ eix -Ic firefox [I] www-client/mozilla-firefox ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/03/2006): Firefox Web Browser [I] www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/16/2006): Firefox Web Browser Found 2 matches.
