Mozilla / Firefox works fine with Java. You just have to download and install the RTE separately, it does not come integrated with it.

I have not had any java issues, but one of our sites uses popups and they don't pop. Another uses a downloaded controll that I can't duplicate for Firefox.

There should be a blue button in the bottom left corner you and double click and allow pop ups from that site it is blocking. I do this for sites I need pop ups from and I have no bit of problems.

BTW, yes, I use Firefox and I love it.

Those using Firefox, how many were persuaded by Fyron

Not me. I was using it long before he started advertising it around here.

The popup is possibly blocked by spam control. You should get an icon in the lower right of the Firefox window indicating the blocking of a popup, clicking it and you can enable popups for the current site only. Very nice feature.
The download control might be a non-standard HTML, used only by IE. Bad web design to use it; nothing that can be done about it.

I have always been an anti-IE fan, I can't stand the spy features and the security loopholes. Used first Netscape up to the Last useable Version (4.7), then Mozilla (Firefox is the stand-alone browser of Mozilla without its email features). Just a matter of personal preference, I can also recommend Opera. I have given ap preaching against IE, whoever uses IE / Outhouse, keep using it if you feel happy with it, just don't ask me for help if you are getting spammed/virussed/trojaned/spyed/whatever.
