Native Firefox is now working fine. It didn't when linuxpluginwrapper
was installed. Now, with nspluginwrapper instead, java and flash work
correctly and in a stable manner (except Flash audio delay)
As advised I tried www/kazehakase, (nice little browser on Gecko
engine) I still get the half-second audio delay with Flash7 that
always existed in native or linux-firefox, and I believe is a problem
on Linux and Solaris too. Maybe when we can get a stable Flash9 this
will go away? Flash 9 is not stable for me (though I can get audio
with libflashsupport wrapper, it often crashes).
No matter what I do: install, reinstall, browser and plugins, clean
prefs directories, the Java plugin on linux-firefox won't run, (it
used to work) but hey, now native Firefox is working properly I don't
need it any more.
Thanks for all your help.
