The drop downs are Javascript, not Java.

The browser sniffer code consists of:
   NS4 = (document.layers);
   IE4 = (document.all);
   ver4 = (NS4 || IE4);   
   isMac = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") != -1);
   isMenu = (NS4 || (IE4 && !isMac));

Only if isMenu is true will the drop downs be enable.
Mozilla will return false for document.layers and document.all, so isMenu will 
not be true for Mozilla.

I am seeing the bug on mac 8.5 build 2000101408.

Another example of this bug may be found at
http://www.highwired.net/Paper/Home/0,4588,537,00.html

The top menus should drop down.

layer issue, over to evang.

layers are not supported in mozilla anymore, as they are not a w3c recommendation.

the drop downs now work in moz, but the submenus don't align correctly, probably
