from what I understand about the flash plugin, the one you install from the macromedia site is still ppc only so if you've installed flash via a website download then it will only work in ppc browsers (or rosetta emulation for unibin browsers). If you stuck with the unibin flash plugin that came with safari in the apple devkit releases of osx 10.4.3 (correct me if I'm wrong here) then flash should work fine since it's unibin.

 

basically, if what I've heard is true, it sounds like we'll have this problem whenever we "upgrade" or otherwise re-install flash plugins until macromedia/adobe finally get around to releasing a true unibin of flash plugins for osx.

 

unless this is all false - please let me know!

EDIT: by the way, I'm not about to test my theory since I have flash working perfectly in safari intel and I don't want to mess with something that's working for me!

i think the user which pretends that flash is working in opera is using rosetta.

 

if you run it native, it's not working, though it works in camino intel, firefox intel, safari intel and shiira intel. it's the same bug that bothered firefox/camino developers few months back, for sure.

Remember: The intel Camino and Firefox are using a patch to work with that broken flash plugin, and that patch is coming out as soon as macromedia releases a proper universal flash. So it's pretty normal that opera breaks. Now what'd be really neat would be if someone created an npRosetta plugin, to make powerpc plugins work in x86 browsers, kinda like crossover plugin which lets windows plugins work in linux browsers :)

Yeah that would be very neat indeed.

Because no way I'll go from unibin Opera to 1/30th speed rosetta just to be able to play flash...

My 9p2 takes forever to launch too; at least a dozen 'bounces' on the dock. But it flies once it's going.

 

Now, if I could find a reliable ad blocker for Opera, I would boot OSX full time: can't live without my Opera.

 

URL blocking kinda works, I updated Opera's url filter with bluetrack ad list but it's still nothing like Ad Muncher for the PC or AdBlock on Firefox.
