Well worth reading and doing as they tell you: |

A major key point the second reference makes, which can be confirmed at the |
| 15 |
Sun web site, -- There is no java plugin for 64 bit mozilla browsers. |
| 16 |
Unfortunately nspluginwrapper cannot handle java 32 bit plugins. |
| 17 |
So-- |
| 18 |
You can run the Konqueror browser which does not need a plugin but uses the |
| 19 |
java virtual machine directly. |
| 20 |
You can use mozilla-firefox-bin with emul-linux-x86-java as the java plugin. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Konqueror worked on your analyze site some months ago; being a gnome I have |
| 23 |
not retried more recently. |
| 24 |
I did emerge mozilla-firefox-bin followed by emerging emul-linux-x86-java. |
| 25 |
Automagically firefox-bin picked up helix(real player), flash, and java |
| 26 |
plugins. The first two plugins were on board from the actions described |
| 27 |
earlier which used nspluginwrapper to install them in 64 bit firefox. |
| 28 |
Firefox-bin displays jsp pages at www.prophet.net very well. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Were I in your shoes I would do the updating, probably including kernel, |
| 31 |
unmerge browsers and plugins, do the java references above, emerge |
| 32 |
firefox-bin, emul-linux-x86-java, realplayer, netscape-flash. Check |
| 33 |
operation of firefox-bin. If flash failed to load up or fails to work, |
| 34 |
unmerge it, and use the direct download and manual install method discussed |
| 35 |
on the download site. |
