I'm a noobie and have been struggling with Ubuntu 11.1 for a couple months. Saturday Firefox updated and now I can't load the Merrill Lynch trading platform site. The site uses Java. It gets to "applet initialize" and crashes Firefox.
My strong suspicion is that the ML site is not updated enough to deal with the change Saturday. For example they do not support 64-bit Internet Explorer at all. However I suspect the last version of Firefox was 64-bit but it worked with a hang or crash a couple times a day.
Now if the last version of Firefox was 32-bit and the new one is 64-bit then that answers my question.
If I'm guessing in the correct direction would it make sense to put the older version of Java, maybe even a 32 bit version on Firefox 10 or just go back to Firefox 9.01 or whatever the last one was that we had.
I suppose I can't use the Ubuntu Software Center to revert back except to remove the current version. So where do I go for the prior version of Java or Firefox? And I assume I have to write some short code to get what I need or load some other popular Software Center that I remember reading a month or two ago that everybody likes. I would appreciate being pointed to some idiot proof step by step directions if I'm on the right path.
