Firefox crashing may be related to the Sun's JRE plugin only. According to the IBM sdkandruntimeguide.lnx.htm: "Installing the Java plug-in To install the Java plug-in, symbolically link it to the plug-in directory for your browser. The Java plug-in is based on Mozilla's Open JVM Integration initiative, which is used with most Mozilla products and derivatives, including Firefox. You must symbolically link the plug-in, rather than copy it, so that the browser and plug-in can locate the JVM." Presumably if it doesn't register in the first instance it can't crash Firefox. > > All the best > > > Pat > _______________________________________________ > yellowdog-general mailing list - yellowdog-general@lists.fixstars.com > Unsuscribe info: > http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to > Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com' _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - yellowdog-general@lists.fixstars.com Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
