Comment 83 for bug 255651

I think the reason the floppy stops working is there is a conflict with either java jre or the plug in or the adobe flash for firefox. prior to adding adobe flash the floppy 1,5 media was showing up and working but after it now just shows floppy and it will not mount, and will not open. So something conflicted with it.
It was OK prior to the latest upgrade in 9.04
Never had any trouble with it in 8.10 or 8.04 however the java plug in did not work in 8.10 as it does in 9.04 but unlike 8.04 now the floppy drive is not working. Hope that helps....
