I had FireFox loaded couple months ago, but did not care for it; removed it.
Something has obviously changed on my computer, that both MS and Java cannot assist me with. I'll just keep trying different things, for I know that I never had problems with java sites, specifically the one I mentioned earlier.
What is puzzling is that all the things that MS and Java say need to be set for both in java panel and I.E. browser is correct.
Thanks for you assistance.
