Yup, I noticed same thing too. Some simple demo applets worked OK (hey I got nice looking fractal and my browser survived), other more complex would make browser to instantly crash. Probably going to disable plugin. Also, probably the reason jpackage folks disabled it in the spec file (or maybe Sun does not even ship it for the very same reasons)...
Yep.. java, not javascript. Just was perusing Dag's site, and I don't even see a "late" version of i-386 firefox. Think the latest version was less than 1, or maybe 1.0x-something. From a previous post some time back on the same thread, it would appear to me that the upstream provider either should drop the x86-64 version of firefox and go to the 386 version. I don't know of any reason anyone would *need* the 64-bit version....
Roger that last observation. There was much traffic on the SuSE AMD64 list earlier this year about plugin problems w/ 64-bit browsers. Solution: use the 32-bit browser. Plugins work AOK, *NO* performance problems, everything just works, smooth as silk .... You *DO* have to get the 32-bit libraries correctly installed & located, but after that, you are off to the races :-).
