Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info. I think the reason is I installed my firefox over
firebird and I could not get the download manager working properly.
Instead of reinstall firefox, I just installed a mimetype editor extention
and now I can tell ff what to do with jnlp files. How nice to see the
animation on my gentoo box!:)
BTW: Is it ok to download your jar files and make my own animation out of
it for my homework?
Best,
Yunxiang
