blah! being using FF since it first came out. no use monkeying around with something else.
SeaMonkey is the latest Firefox and Thunderbird combined. A far more recent Mozilla design than you will get elsewhere for PPC. It resolves most plugin, security and Java issues.
if you have something on Java let's hear it! no seamonkeys here...
Java works on SeaMonkey - playing with other things is a waste of time.
Hillyer, if you can't answer my question about Java, stay off this discussion post. I don't need ads about seamonkey.
The latest Java for Leopard is shown below:
Apart from a recent security update, this was the final Java update for Leopard:
Update 10, 29 June 2011 - This release updates J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updates Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26. J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update. Support for out-of-process Java applets on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has been removed with this update.
This release is only for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later versions of Mac OS X 10.5. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
As for plug-ins in Firefox, try this:
Open Firefox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: Firefox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close Firefox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
(May not work on all versions)
Java for 10.5.8
