Well, scratch the part about Java. I updated the link to the plugin that comes 
with J2RE and it works now. There is also a fix to the most annoying problem 
with Mozilla: it would hang on a page with Flash if the audio device was in 
use. There is a new version of Flash 6 Beta that solves this problem. So, 
this version is the best yet. For features, stability and security, it beats 
that other browser hands down.
