Installed net-www/mozilla-firefox : it worked great Installed net-www/netscape-flash : worked great with firefox Instaled app-office/openoffice : openoffice works, firefox works, but any time a page with Flash/Shockwave is loaded the browser crashes immediately with the following error: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the JVM manager System error?:: Success Looks like the openoffice install changed the installed java which is now causing the error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-www/mozilla-firefox 2. emerge net-www/netscape-flash 3. emerge app-office/openoffice Actual Results: Web pages with Flash/Shockwave crash firefox browser immediately Expected Results: Flash/Shockwave pages should load as normal, prior to openoffice install.
I forgot to note: I tried uninstalling java and reinstalling, I even tried a different java. The problem still occurs. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both mozilla-firefox and the flash plugin.
Looked around some more, I found that by removing my .mozilla dir in my home dir and then re-opening firefox took care of the problem.
