5 +1 on this. Plugin crashing the browser was the reason why I tried (with
6 success!) to install 32-bit sun-jdk-1.4.2 in amd64 installation. See

14 Or somehow allow installation of (already present in portage)
15 sun-jdk-1.4.2 -- but without allowing it to be a default JVM
16 (it will never integrate well with 64-bit Firefox, for example).
