If you want to use flash plugi from macromedia.. or sun's java
plugin.. you'll need to run the 32bit version of firefox.
After banging my head on the Firefox wall, I decided to install Mozilla
and see what happened.
The 32bit or the 64bit version of mozilla?

Here is what I found out...
I have Mozilla x86_64 v1.7.7
I have Fedora/1.0.3-2 Firefox/1.0.3 x86_64
The link to install java as supplied by Mozilla / Firefox plugin link is
for the 32 bit JRE 1.5.
There is a JRE x86_64 version but it is for JRE 1.4
JRE 1.5 works with Mozilla x86_64 but not Firefox x86_64
The JRE 1.4 x86_64 crashes Firefox, but can be seen in Firefox's
'about:plugins'
My question is...
Since FC is porting Firefox to x86_64, will FC be porting Firefox
plugins? Or making Firefox x86_64 backwards compatible plugin-wise?
Mozilla seems backwards compatible and it would be a shame to have a
browser with no flash and java capabilities.
Thanks,
