this one breaks your firefox!!!!
Helix DNA Plugin: RealPlayer G2 Plug-In Compatible
npwrapper.nphelix.so
remove helix and use xine in its place for the apps that are using it. also
remove all real player apps, and build win32codecs with real flag, and then
install the mplayerplug-in. you cannot use helix-real with
firefox-64>1.5versions for what i know.
as for flash, sometimes it breaks and you need to restart firefox. the right
way to use flash on 64bit is to have that tab the only one that is accessing
internet from the browser, that flash has unlimited disk space and that you
don't use intesively your disk. if you happen to see a blank screen reload
the page. when you see a white page without the video then flash has broken
and you need to restart firefox. this happens usually after 30-40mins of
flash using, or after 2 hours of firefox open (also no flash use) or also
just after starting firefox. this is a little unpredictable, for what i've
experienced.
as for the .mozilla dir, clear everything with ctrl+shift+del, then save
your bookmarks and settings and delete the .mozilla dir. after that you
restart firefox and it should work well.
now i can figure out a little about why the bin failed: it had 32bit and
64bit plugins (the vlc and maybe mplayerplug-in) which broke it. if you want
to use firefox 32 bit, then compile mplayer, mplayer plugin for 32bit and
remove vlc from the plugins for 32bit.
as for java, i'll document a little, and try to see what i'm missing too,
since i cannot see the java plugin installed.

i'll try symlinking it in the plugin dir and see what happens. i'll let you
know what happens.
