Hi SL-folks,
well, it's a fairly old thread, but since I partially have the same problem, I
thought it's kind of better to revive it - hope that's ok ...

Hi,
The above update to firefox.i386 on the x86_64 architecture has
broken the acrobat and java plugins.
(using acroread 7.0.9 and Sun Java 6u3)
Clicking on a PDF file causes firefox to exit immediately
and launching webpages that require a java plugin no longer works.
If I revert to firefox-1.5.0.12-0.3.el4.i386 everything works as
expected.
The reason we're using the i386 version on an x86_64 arch is
to get the various plugins working that have no x86_64 equivalent.
I can get around the PDF issue by not using the plugin and just
loading the file externally in xpdf/acroread but we need
the java plugin to work too.
cheers,
Ronnie
Hi,
When it did the update, did it put in both the i386 and x86_64
version? Or just the i386 version?
Troy
I'm getting more reports of this.
I'm still setting things up for a test, but as I do, is anyone having
problems with Adobe acroread 8? or is it only acroread 7?
Troy
OK, I can't get it to fail on me.
First question, for all of those who are having this problem. Have you
completely exited out of firefox and seamonkey? I don't just mean one
window, but all of firefox?
Second question, if the above answer was yes, can you send me
information on how you setup your adobe plugin's? Did you do it by
hand? Whet directory is the plugin in? If it is a link, can you send
me the full output of ls -l on the plugin.
Thanks
Troy
apparently the "java-plugin not working" problem wasn't really discussed !?
Anyone got a solution to that one ?? Or anyone else has the same problem (I
do) ??
I have firefox-1.5.0.12-0.8.i386 installed on SL4.5 x86_64 systems. The
javaplugin comes from java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13, and works otherwise: running
firefox-1.5.0.12-0.3.i386 (or firefox2) on the same machine allows to open
java-applets (like eg
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.5.0/demos/plugin/applets/Clock/example1.html)
without problems. javaws works as well, so the java-installation itself
seems to be ok.
With firefox-1.5.0.12-0.8.i386 however, it simply won't work (for me). Java
apparently complains about "Could not start JavaVM!" and the java-console
never shows up. I searched quite a bit, but most people (quite a few) running
into similar problems usually have a mixup of 32- and 64-bit installations (I
don't). Any suggestions appreciated !
Ciao, Frank.
