Nor, as I stated previously, has anyone stated definitively why. That's one of the problems w.r.t. Java on FreeBSD: I had to install openjdk6, which provides at least this level in order to run all services that Freenet provides (Freenet runs in degraded mode with java/jdk16, because that version is too old and contains a big XML-related vulnerability). But java/openjdk6 works just fine with Freenet and almost any Java program I could throw at it. I don't know about Firefox 3.6 plugins though. % java -version openjdk version "1.6.0" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b20) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode) -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
