- Making the sun plugin conflict with the classpath webplugin. - Preferably don't install the classpath version at all, if you're worried about completely free java go for java 7 it would be more reliable than classpath. I had this problem too. This was on x86_64 however, but I installed 32-bit firefox and sun java-plugin and had problems getting it to work until I figured out that I must manually remove classpath-webplugin. I thought classpath-webplugin was only installed by default on 64-bit installations, but apparently it's also done on 32-bit - it doesn't do much good anywhere - but on 32-bit it's extra problematic.
I support Benji's proposed resolutions.
IMO it is a mistake to release a 64 bit firefox without a really (!) working java. Releasing a 32 bit firefox was much better in the older distros.
Anyone opened a bug to let the plugins conflict? IMHO that's mandatory. It makes absolutely no sense to have more than one plugin installed for one type since at least all Mozilla stuff behaves non-deterministic in choosing one :-( And I agree that not having a working Java plugin is almost as bad as not having a working Flash player (which should basically work maybe only with manual interaction with nspluginwrapper though). So replacing Firefox with the 32bit version, removing classpath-webplugin and installing Sun's 32bit Java with plugin will be an FAQ :-( Wolfgang --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
