On my old system I was using firefox-bin with flash & java working fine. |
| 44 |
I had a fatal hard drive failure & due to obsolete system now have new |
| 45 |
motherboard, memory, CPU, & disk. |
| 46 |
On my new system I was using 64bit firefox with blackdown java to load |
| 47 |
a large applet. The only problem was that it hung after 30mins to 1.5 hours, |
| 48 |
which I was living with. This applet is updated weekly, and the last |
| 49 |
update would |
| 50 |
no longer load, it gets half way thru then gives a blank grey screen. |
| 51 |
I checked & found I was using sun-jdk instead of blackdown & my efforts to |
| 52 |
switch back led to that long thread. |
| 53 |
Now that I have blackdown back in use, I can fully load the applet, |
| 54 |
however after |
| 55 |
a few seconds firefox crashes. |
| 56 |
So now I'm experimenting with other jvms. |
| 57 |
I was even about to download the IBM 1, however the amd64 version does |
| 58 |
not have plugin support. |
| 59 |
I am about to try setting firefox to pretend to be ie for this site, |
| 60 |
as I suspect they may have jinxed the applet so that it only works with ie. |
| 61 |
although I have another windows machine & both ie & firefox work just |
| 62 |
fine there. So if its a windows jinx, I'm screwed. |
