I had no problem installing Flash-Player for Firebird 0.7, but I couldn't setup the Shockwave-Player for it ... with Firefox they work perfectly :-D
Including Java, and other plugins :-)

Lionstorm:  @ wacoom : is flash working ? is it on x86 or A1 ?

Are you talking about Firefox, or the fact that file extensions don't work properly in Firebird?  Flash works fine in Firefox.  Since Firebird works on A1 (PPC Linux), Firefox will follow shortly for sure.

I just can't wait untill they get the official Extensions list back online.  Scroll-wheel support in Firefox is just too damn slow, and you can't customize it in Options like you can in Mozilla.  I had to install a plugin to fix that in Firebird, and I seem to have lost the plugin file.  I understand why mouse gestures aren't a standard feature, but the scroll wheel should definately have its own configuration section, seeing how scroll mice are supported natively to begin with.

On my A1 mozilla 1.5 takes 30 sec to open, 16sec for firebird 0.7 and 8 sec for opera 6.23.
How fast is firefox ? Can you put a refresh+load images button ? It is not possible with firebird 0.7, you have to go in tools to change whether or not you want images.

I don't care what anyone says, Mozilla is damn slow.  Firefox seems about the same as Opera and IE (from a warm start, since IE is always preloaded in memory).  Firefox has a reload button.  I don't know if you can add a button to refresh images only.  I think you have to reload the whole page.  But, every browser works that way as far as I know.

TallAmigan:  How do they get those nice icons next to a URL in one's bookmarks?

Make a BMP file called "favicon.ico", and put it into the root of your web upload folder.  Some browsers won't show it (including IE, for some reason), but many will.  I don't think it will work properly in many browsers unless it's a BMP.  Mozilla probably doesn't care what format it is.

Yeah, I'm just confused that anyone could have had problems installing the Flash plugin in the regular way too...

Macromedia has been slow to recognize "alternative" browsers.  For the longest time, I couldn't get the "official" Flash installer to work with Opera, either, because it just doesn't bother to look for the correct folders.  Java has (or at least had)  the same problem.

Actually, IE was first with the icon-feature, but it has never worked properly... :-D
Beating the dead horse since 2002.

I don't think any browser gets the favicon stuff right :-)
