Reporter: Which JRE Do you use ?

wfm with a 2 day old win2k trunk and JRE1.4.1

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

via mail :
I am using JRE 1.4.0 according to Mozilla.
I didn't use to get this bug with Mozilla 1.2 (or at worst, 1.1).

WFM using 1.3a official release (build id: 2002121215) on win2k sp3, JRE 1.3.1

NOTE:
there are 2 links named "DEPT COMPUTING SUPPORT SPEC II" and for me worked both

Page has changed making it difficult to test. Have gone successfully to what
would be next and most likely simular link.

In any case this could be made dupe of but#167204.

Comment 6

[Chris Lyon]

WFM using 1.3b on WinXP (no Java on this page).

Patrick, are you still seeing this with a more recent build of Mozilla?

Resolving due to lack od response from reporter

please reopen this bug report if the problem persits with Mozilla 1.3 or later
