firefox-bin is worse than firefox on an amd64 system. so, if you think |
| 31 |
that a bin version would be faster than a non bin version you're quite |
| 32 |
wrong. opera for what i know on amd64 is compiled for 64bit and not |
| 33 |
for 32 bit and so the plugins you're using with also need to be amd64 |
| 34 |
compiled. |
| 35 |
said this i suggest you to use mplayerplug-in instead of |
| 36 |
gecko-mediaplayer. since it's produced by the same devs of mplayer and |
| 37 |
you won't have api problems with it. another reason for you to use |
| 38 |
mplayerplug-in is that it works with latest xulrunner and firefox |
| 39 |
codebase (it's not limited to second version of firefox) and you can |
| 40 |
use either the latest xulrunner, seamonkey or firefox (still |
| 41 |
maintained by mozilla). on multilib systems it also automatically |
| 42 |
builds the 32bit and 64bit packages depending on mplayer and |
| 43 |
mplayer-bin. |
| 44 |
also xulrunner is a direct dependency for firefox and if a package |
| 45 |
tells you that you can build that package on xulrunner then you don't |
| 46 |
really need firefox. |
