I've tried - honestly - to like Opera for several years now. I can't stand the GTK+ look/feel of Firefox and Opera is built with Qt. However, it just never quite works right either on Wintendo or Linux. For example, I've yet to be able to get it to do Flash or MPlayer in openSUSE nor can I do the same in XP/Vista. Well, that's OK, I still can't get firefox to do java on 11.0 x86_64 without installing the 32-bit version. Konqueror handles the weather loops just fine.
Neither Firefox or Opera can handle the following javascript applet:
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=SHV&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loo p=yes
I'll check Beta 5, but I don't hold out any great hope.
That's kind of cool. You actually have weather in your part of the world. (The Los Angeles area has zero activity on the map.)
So it doesn't work in 64-bit firefox or doesn't work in firefox at all?
The radar loop works fine in the 32-bit version. I have a separate 32-bit firefox install on my system in /usr/local just for that reason. It is the x86-64 version of firefox that for reasons I still don't fully understand can't display that page. I was surprised that Opera couldn't handle it as well. Hopefully we will get that working in 11.1. -- David C.
