If you install the official google earth plugin, it seems to work just fine.

This must be a Google Earth bug. Nowhere in the code am I specifying a link for 
the Google Earth plugin - this is supplied by Google. So they must be providing 
the wrong link for your OS - sorry.

I think this should be reopened.  I had a friend try the same thing with his 
firefox browser, and it froze the browser.  Maybe you should recommend that 
people download the Google Earth plugin BEFORE running this.

My friends system is vista x64 amd quad core ATI Radeon 5800.  My mac has ATI 
Radeon X1600.  Another friend with an Nvidia card and windows 7 had no problem 
with firefox.  Perhaps it's just a matter of restarting the browser after 
installing the plugin.

I understand the concern, but my point is that as long as the page follows the 
Google API, the installation of the Google Earth plugin is out of the scope of 
my project. I don't even know what I'd do on my end to fix this - all I'm 
currently doing is loading the Google Earth plugin through the standard API. As 
a bug, this is better directed to Google - maybe here:
