P5 sketchs won't display in Firefox
Nov 24^th, 2007, 2:05pm

I'm sorry if it's not a right place to post this,
but I have no idea why I'm not able to see some P5 sketches in Firefox. It's the latest verion, I have macBook Pro with os 10.4.x, and I of course enabled java/javascript in the firefox preference.

for example, when I go to, http://processing.unlekker.net/sphereCircles/index.html
in Safari, first it shows preload image with Sun Java logo,
then I see sphereCircles as if I run the code in p5 IDE,
but in firefox, nothing happens.

It's the same thing in many other sites where P5 sketches should display.

I'm very annoyed becuase Mozilla site is totally useless on this topic, and I'm sure that I don't need to update Java on my system or whatever becuase Safari works fine with Java.

anyone has same pain?

thank you.

this is the error message I get in the console.

### MRJPlugin: getPluginBundle() here. ###
### MRJPlugin: CFBundleGetBundleWithIdentifier() succeeded. ###
### MRJPlugin: CFURLGetFSRef() succeeded. ###
Java for ppc cannot run in this configuration.
Please consult documentation.

I've tried download new version of java but I don't even know which one to download...
https://sdlc6e.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=7E153FC48ABBC48833104A9

and I don't even know how to figure out what version of java I have, and above all, It's not about java version issue because Safari works.

I'm running version 2.0.0.9 of firefox and i have Intel MacBook pro.

the latest version of firefox supports intel mac,
and there's no seperated version for intel/ppc.
but I finally found the reason on thier release note page for intel mac.

# Java does not run on Intel Core processors under Rosetta.

I need to launch Firefox under Rosetta because if not, newest flash plug in won't work,
and if I launch under Rosetta, Java won't work...

I'll try to update flash player enabler, but I'm quite sure that it won't change nothing.

'hope next release of firefox will fix this s**t!!

thanks for the kind replies

best,

'hope this works.
