> firefox is not able to handle more than a plugin for a single MIME type,
Just about when you replied, I found your blog posting about this: http://allievi.sssup.it/techblog/?p=525 I removed the gnash plugin from my $HOME/.mozilla/plugins, restarted Firefox, and now Lightspark appears to start. But on a Youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5utHUrkqtc it renders a muddy mess (screen shot at www.toad.com/TEMP-lightmess.png). I haven't been able to catch the program actually running as a child of Firefox (it seems to crash too quickly -- or is it actually running the whole interpreter inside the Firefox process)? Also, when I run it from the command line: g...@om:~$ lightspark --help terminate called after throwing an instance of 'lightspark::RunTimeException' what(): Lightspark error Aborted g...@om:~$ lightspark --version terminate called after throwing an instance of 'lightspark::RunTimeException' what(): Lightspark error Aborted I hope you can improve it so it identifies its version, both on the command line and in the plugin. As more people start using it, this will vastly simplify your support job. Hey! When I picked a random kids' flash game: http://www.freeworldgroup.com/games2/gameindex/dadnmebig.htm it came up in Firefox, and ran gnash, and it works! It falls back cleanly! (Much of the game works in gnash, too, tho not all of it.) It looks like this won't let gnash do its more recent features like ExternalInterface, because it's the Lightspark plugin communicating with the Gnash interpreter. But it's a step...
