Hi Stephen
To follow up from my other post, I have tried a number of Java applets
on my iBook using Firefox 3.6b5 and the latest IBM Java on my iBook.
Except for the error message with the java.com version test all others
have worked correctly as far as I can tell. Try using at least
Firefox 3.6b5 (or the release candidate). Given the change to the new
plugin format there may be some bugs in 3.6b1 that are not there in
the later versions. I doubt that it is my use of an iBook versus a
PS3.
It was the release candidate I was trying so I dropped back to 3.6b5
with unfortunately the same result. I my case accessing
http://www.javatester.org/version.html will cause Firefox to crash.
I'm using a Powermac G5 so I'll build the
release candidate on a Powerbook G4 so see if the result differs. Will
keep you posted.
Well I finally have Java up and running perfectly under Firefox 3.6! I
compiled the final release version of FF 3.6 and created a symlink in
/usr/local/bin/ to the script firefox exactly as I had done after
building the release candidate. Previously I have been testing Firefox
3.6 by starting it from the command line but this time I tested the
build by clicking on the Firefox application icon in the E17 shelf. (As
I have /usr/local/bin set to take precedence over /usr/bin in my PATH
/usr/local/bin/firefox starts instead of /usr/bin/firefox)
I experienced no crashes loading a java applet starting FF 3.6 from the
shelf but yet if I start it from the command line it will crash loading
an applet every time. Not sure why this is ... main thing is that it's
(and obviously always was) now working :-)
