ok, i like firefox. dont really like opera. but...i had to succumb.
running freebsd 7 with native firefox for java v6 (diablo-latte) works great, and adds appropriate java entries to the pluginreg.dat which is actually shared with linux-firefox (for proper flash support...nspluginwrapper was causing flash to be out of synch (youtube) for me, but linux-firefox with linux-flashplugin7 worked fine.
linux-opera to the rescue ; everytime i started linux-firefox it would overwrite my pluginreg.dat (which i had some specific java variables in there) - it pissed me off that i couldn't use both firefoxes... i thought about maybe using a diff profile but it pulls pluginreg.dat before the profiles...so i just decided to use linux-opera and be done w/it. thats what i decided on.
btw, i hate flash and java. but both are necessary for my line of work...bullshit.
i need flash to watch videos and listen to music on youtube.
i need java to work with some screwed up oracle applications we use at work.
at least i get to use unix.
