True, but at some later date the update of Sun Java started to offer
a 64bit plugin. At that time, it stopped working in Seamonkey (which
I still use). But it now works OK in 64 bit Firefox. So for pages that
need Java I use Firefox, and I have disabled Java in Seamonkey.

Flash works in both of them, although a bit better in Firefox. I should
move to Firefox/Thunderbird instead of the familiar Seamonkey.
