Thanks--sl-testing got firefox working again after quitting late
last Friday. With SL5.3 here in the office and Fedora 13 at home,
it's easy to put the cart (SL) before the horse (Fedora).

Hello,
The new firefox 3.6 will only use the new java plugin (libnpjp2.so) not use
the older java plugin (libjavaplugin_oji.so).
The current java-1.6.0-sun-compat links the older java plugin for i386, which
firefox cannot use.
This updated java-1.6.0-sun-compat links the new libnpjp2.so java plugin for
both i386 and x86_64, so that firefox can use the java plugin.
Since the updated firefox has already been pushed out, we expect this to be
pushed out in a day or two.
