Il giorno mar, 26/02/2008 alle 08.37 +0100, Dominique Leuenberger ha problem. I have in plus also a VLC media player installed with a 64bit plugin for firefox. Downgrading firefox to 32bit means, I need VLC in 32bit as well... then I can as well just install the 32bit version of openSUSE...
That's ok, but it's always an unofficial workaround, and I would like to avoid it in a default installation. It caused issues, and it will probably cause again with the switch to new firefox releases
well: having firefox 32 bit, you'll just get all the multimedia users on you, complaining that the 64bit vlc plugin, or mplayer plugin, or XYZ plugin is not working anymore... I don't think that's a good tradeoff... I think the way with nspluginwrapper is the way to go, and for Java push the 1.7 inside, which is rumored to work in 64bit installations... and have never get tired of asking the proprietary providers if they would finally like to provide 64bit applications too... I know this seems to be incredible impossible for some companies (from patching some source I also know why)
and according flash: I actually never had a problem with it on the factory installation... I'm frequent user of youtube and of some flash game sites.. and this seems to work fine.
Try google finance for example. I can't see plots of stocks for example.
I used that site quiet regular myself for a while... can't remember any problems with it (but I'm also not sure if I ever tried it on the 64bit system)... I'll give it a try this evening.. just to be sure...
