Dear all,

Any help concerning the topic as follws would be very appreciated.

freebsdangel# uname -a

It seems that this browser-plugin stuff is neverending.
All native freebsd browsers refuse to use plugins at all.
The linux versions of opera and and firefox correctly recognize the 
linux-flashplugin7.
But the java-plugin is not recognized although having been linked 
correctly from diablo portsinstall.

Konqueror though can use java, when being given the correct java 
executable path. But, Konqueror is totally messed up somehow, it always 
takes about 30 seconds to open a webpage. firefox and opera are pretty 
fast though.

Another related issue: linux-flashplugin9 always segfaults the browser 
when used. I dunno what to do, I would relly like to be able to watch 
latest flash movies.

Best regards, Tino
