Hi Les, I'm afraid both those things work fine for me. I'm using Windows XP,
20031105 Firebird/0.7+. Maybe something's been fixed between your official
release version and the later nightlies, so it might be worth downloading a
later version just to check.

Other than that, is it possible that your version of Java is old? It might be
worth removing all versions of Java on your computer using add/remove programs,
then installing the latest Sun version from www.java.com.

Hi Les, are you still reading email for this bug? If so, are you still having
problems with Java in recent builds of Firefox?
