Just two cents.

LOL depends on the hardware and how you tweak it. I have a few adjustments that will make IE6 quite fast at loading pages.

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.

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