i think this whole thread is bringing up an obvious issue with the way
firefox plugins are handled - it's a flawed system. it's one of the show
stoppers for a lot of people. it was a show stopper for me using 64 bit
linux. from an end-user perspective, plugins should not pose such
enormous problems.
i am not a developer so this all has to be taken with the proverbial
grain of salt. i do, however, think that the mozilla foundation needs to
take a serious look at how plugins are handled. i installed linux on
my fathers desktop a long time ago. the one (and only) problem that
plagued him was plugins with firefox. it unfortunately made him happy to
have Windows on his laptop. he could happily watch the goofy movies and
such with ease.
there's my $.02 for what it's worth.
