Does firefox & 64 bit java have stability issues?
I use Firefox 3.6.6 and java plugins. I've tried sun-java6 & icedtea from the repositories, I get the same results from both. I goto http://
About:plugins shows the plugin is installed and firefox knows how to find it.

You could try the 64bit java using the .bin file. The 64bit OS uses Java via a plugin wrapper which isn't very graceful
You can get it from www.java.com
You must uninstall the sun java you installed using the repos.

I downloaded and ran the bin file, it only expanded it's contents. There was no documentation that I saw about installin it. How do I install it?
move the expanded contents to /opt then you will need to symlink the
/opt/jre1.
into your plugins folder.
Will works a treat

That didn't work. I think this site is having problems, I get the same error with Winblows.
Ahh well, no accounting for poor code.

This is a Firefox 3.6.6 problem, the site works fine with IE. Still looking for a solution.
Did the link work ok? Do you have 64it java?

Yea, everywhere except the nimblefingers.com site.
