Hi,
The above update to firefox.i386 on the x86_64 architecture has
broken the acrobat and java plugins.
(using acroread 7.0.9 and Sun Java 6u3)
Clicking on a PDF file causes firefox to exit immediately
and launching webpages that require a java plugin no longer works.
If I revert to firefox-1.5.0.12-0.3.el4.i386 everything works as
expected.
The reason we're using the i386 version on an x86_64 arch is
to get the various plugins working that have no x86_64 equivalent.
I can get around the PDF issue by not using the plugin and just
loading the file externally in xpdf/acroread but we need
the java plugin to work too.
Ronnie,
Not a solution to your actual problem but:
http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/
allows you to run 32bit plugins in a 64 bit firefox.

cheers,
Ronnie
