There are people out there who know more than I do. Up-to-date HTML5 needs Firefox 3.6+ or Opera 10.60+ (AFAIK). For applets you can try the openjdk6 port with the new WEB config option, which works for me in Firefox 3.6, but I have hangs in Opera. This applet support is quite new. See the archives of this mailinglist of the last few weeks for more info about that. I don't have experience with flashplugin on FreeBSD. But why don't you just try it? You can always go back to firefox 3.5. Some info about the applet support in openjdk6: http://www.freshports.org/commit.php?category=java&port=openjdk6&files=yes&message_id=201009160032.o8G0WmIv087354@repoman.freebsd.org Ronald. > On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 5:33 PM, Ronald Klop > wrote: >> On Mon, 27 Sep 2010 04:08:49 +0200, Aryeh Friedman >> wrote: >> >>> I currently use java/diablo-jdk-1.6.0.07.02_9, >>> www/linux-f10-flashplugin-10.1r53 and www/firefox-3.5.11,1 for both >>> personal and professional browsing on 8.1-STABLE... except for the >>> occasional npviewer hiccup it seems to work fine...
