Markus,
FireBible is tested on Linux, Mac and Windows, so I know it does work on all these platforms. Having said that, there are a few variables that could potentially cause problems (but out of my control) and I am trying to improve error reporting with each version. If FireBible is still “loading” even for a minute, that’s too long. Typically takes under 5 seconds, though that would vary depending on your machine and the number of modules you have.

You seem to be running into a problem with Java, not with JSword or the modules. When you say latest version of Java installed, do you have 1.6.0 update 12? If you have update 10 or 11, remember to disable the “next generation Java plug-in” as described in section 4 on the FireBible page (or just install update 12 which is out of beta now). I will send you more details via email.

Have updated the page with your spelling correction, thanks!

I ditto Brandon’s dilemma.
After unpackaging jsword into an empty directory,
After installing the FireBible xpi plugin
After aiming it (the plugin) to the directory where jsword was unpacked
After aiming it (the plugin) to the modules directory,
It still keeps saying it is busy – even after 1 hour!!!
I have latest Java and JRE for my linux installed!!
I think your app is busted!

That aside, I would like to point you to an error in spelling
of the words of the transliterated Holy Book in the Arabic Language
on URL http://thegoan.com/firebible/
The English Transliterated spelling ought to be:

Al-Kitab Al-Muqaddas (Notice the final s)

Without the s, the word Mugadda has no meaning.

Best Regards,

Markus

I’ve been trying to get firebible to work on firefox, but to no avail! I’ve directed the tool>firebible screen to my jsword folder, i’ve installed the latest java version… i’m pretty computer literate, and I’ve never had this hard a time getting a program to run! I’m running vista-64, with firefox 3.0.6. I’ve been looking forward to trying out this really amazing-looking ap, but I’ve had zero luck installing it thus far.
