[SunRay-Users] Firefox and Flash on Sunrays

[Lars Tunkrans]

Hi,

    Which  version of Firefox  is used  ?    the Mozilla guys   fixed a 
number of  "interesting"  bugs that caused firefox
      to hang    with  Firefox 2.0.0.18    latest is 2.0.0.20

     I do belive you should upgrade to SRS 4.1  

    //Lars
