Yes, but there are 32-bit versions of FireFox and flash that work fine on the x86_64 systems. I use 32-bit FireFox on my x86_64 system w/o a problem.
Can you elaborate a little more on this?
I just recently installed 10.2 64-bit on a Sun Ultra 40 (dual amd 246 chips). I can install the i586 version of firefox, but it can't get it to talk to the network at all. It's as if I don't even have a plumbed ethernet interface. So firefox will run, but all attempts at connecting to the internet fail. Reinstall the 64-bit version of firefox, and I can browse no problem.
I have *no* idea.... :^( but the first place I would look is in the is the Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection all I did was install the 32-bit edition originally from the iso, and updated regularly. I use "smart" and it automagically installs the correct additions/codex. 12:12 wahoo:~ > smart query --installed MozillaFirefox *plug* *flash* MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.6-2.1@i586 java-1_4_2-sun-plugin-1.4.2.15-2.1@i586 java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-1.5.0_12-2.1@i586 mplayerplug-in-3.40-0.pm.1@i586 flash-player-9.0.48.0-3.1@i586 -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
