did you select the right version of plugin via eselect java-nsplugin?
you're right i didn't have the xul 1.9.1 version set now it works only one thing: it seems that java vm keeps loaded even after closing the tab with the applet. i keep on seeing: patrizio 24765 1.3 2.7 935184 55916 pts/2 Sl+ 21:21 0:02 /opt/icedtea6-bin-1.6.1/jre/lib/amd64/../../bin/java sun.applet.PluginMain lots of memory here. ps. can we have a source compiled ebuild (from overlays) instead of -bin?

1.6.2 in portage doesn't work with xul 1.9.2 1.7 is in overlays only i'm waiting for portage inclusion then i'll test
i works greatly! i just would like to see a not-bin version. apart this, thanks a lot!
sorry after more tests, after the applet tab is closed it's still loaded in memory /opt/icedtea6-bin-1.7/jre/lib/amd64/../../bin/java sun.applet.PluginMain i change the subject

I suggest filling an upstream bug though. Probably isn't gentoo-specific.
yes this is true, it's linked to firefox and not tab. of course this will be fixed when firefox will implement per-tab processes but it's a long way. what do we do with this entry in gentoo bugzilla? keep it open or mark as closed-UPSTREAM?
Upstream unless proven otherwise :)
