IRIX and Software

Hey all,

I've just downloaded foetz's firefox_107-gtk1 version (was running the same 1.06 version) and I tried this one java page that I have found that is a good little 'java test' type page:

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

It starts to load up, but then the browser crashes and I get this in my window:

I *can* still go the one site in particular that I do everyday (the site where I put in my hours for work) and that's all that really matters to me. But I wondered what this problem might be.

Another wrinkle in the situation was that for grins I went and re-ran the older 1.06 version and interestingly enough it crashed in exactly the same way on the above java testing page. So now of course I'm wondering when the last time I was actually able to get that page to work.

I'm curious if anybody else running the gtk1 version of 1.06 or the new 1.07 can get the url above to work w/o crashing...

Thanks! (and thanks for cranking out the updates foetz!)

I am running 1.6a1 and all seems well, no errors. I do not see the dancing Duke though - no red X but no dancing Duke?

java seems to make problems in general.
we had countless issues with all versions in the past.

so if it works -> nice.
if not -> never mind. try next version

Uh, oh. What if I have to configure my JetDirect 500X printserver via its web interface?
That one is so heavily javaed that FF1.07 does not display it,
even my iMacs Safari refuses to talk to that device.

Sigh.

and pray you do not have to read the manual

How can CUPS work around Hewlett-Packards Firmware in the JedDirect 500X printserver device eventually ?

Btw., I´m pretty content with Impressario.

sure Impressario rules but for some printres there's no choice
