I have installed linux-mozilla, mozilla (native), and netscape 7 (native). I have installed plugger, linux-flashplugin, and java. When I view the plugins info in the 3 browsers I get various results - Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 2 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i386; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020508 - - - - - shockwave flash - - - - - default Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 2 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020524 java plugins - - - - - plugger 4.0 default Netscape 7.0 Preview Release 1 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i386; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020513 Netscape/7.0b1 java plugin shockwave flash - - - - - default The native mozilla uses this java: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.3.1-p6-chip-020523-21:19 File name: /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in1.3.1 Netscape 7 uses this java: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.3.1-b24 File name: /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape7-english/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in1.3.1 I mention that because they don't work the same. For example - espn.com has a java game-cast. I can view it fine native Mozilla, but in Netscape the java web-cast attempts to load but fails, and locks up Netscape (I have to use XKill to get rid of the window, and Netscape7). Opera 6.0 behaves the same as Netscape 7, except that I can close the failed java window properly and not use xkill. And Opera does not show any plugins from the plugger plugin, or shockwave. So, after all that, is the above behavior caused by bugs in the programs, or what? Just thought all this was rather curious. -- Chip W www.wiegand.org chip@wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
