I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I am using firefox 2.0.0.7 on SL 5. Java (Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_11), acroread 8 and adobe flash (Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48) all seem to work. My cpu is AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, and kernel is 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.
For example, this works like a charm: http://www.burger.si/Austria/Salzburg/360Salzburg_Hohensalzburg2.HTM Using firefox 2 also has the advantage that more useful add-ons are available, such as tabgroups, save session and the web developer's toolbar. (This is my default browser. I used to use opera more, but firefox is better for web development, which I'm working on at the moment.) -- Peter ====================================================== On Oct 23, 2007 at 10:30 am, Troy Dawson wrote: | Troy Dawson wrote: | >Troy Dawson wrote: | >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | >>>On Fri, 19 Oct 2007, Troy Dawson wrote: | >>>>SL 4.x | >>>> | >>>> x86_64: | >>>>firefox-1.5.0.12-0.7.el4.i386.rpm | >>>>firefox-1.5.0.12-0.7.el4.x86_64.rpm | >>>> | >>>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. | >>> | >>>cheers, | >>>Ronnie | >> | >>Hi, | >>When it did the update, did it put in both the i386 and x86_64 | >>version?
