This application is not ready to be included as the default browser.<br> Java does not work with this version. I have attempted to use all 4<br> types of java, and none of them worked to bring up a MMOLRPG that I<br> frequent daily.<br>
The new Firefox looks good, and has some nice features that I'm sure<br> some individuals will enjoy. The Flash plugin installs without issue.<br> But without the Sun-Java 5 or 6, or even the other, non-Sun java<br> programs working properly, our target audience, the linux newcomer with<br>
less capable machines, will be frustrated by having to un-install<br> firefox version 3, and install firefox-2, install the java version of<br> their choice (minus the plugin) and manually add the plug-in<br> <br> Or, they will give up</blockquote>
<div><br>Remember that this is just RC1 of Firefox, and IIRC Hardy will include the stable version once it ships. Also, in-browser Java is far less prevalent then it used to be, in fact, Runescape is the only in-browser Java application I can think of. I'm not on Hardy anymore, otherwise I'd give installing Java a try, because the problem might also be specific to your machine. Did you file a bug report? <br>

Would be handy for web development...)<br clear="all">
