Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a solution to opensuse 10.3 on 64bit amd
cpu with 64bit firefox and 64bit jre/java jre1.6.0_03. It seems that
in the standard opensuse 10.3 64bit install it installs a 64bit
version of firefox and java just doesn't seem to work in firefox. I've
googled and found many others with similar problems and wondered if
there has been a solution to 10.3 yet? Thanks and regards. Otto.

No solution. Sun java does not have a functioning 64 bit plugin (why I
don't know). Work around is to install the last 64 bit blackdown java
and install it. It has a working 64 bit plugin, but it is version 1.4.2.
