(1) yes .. you MIGHT need to reconfigure java. (2) Yes. FYI; We banned IE use in our companies and switched to Linux with Mozilla browsers. Near ZERO problems. Dont beleive all the FUD. This stuff works and works well. Just make sure you are not dependent upon a site that only supports IE.
I think the site is overloaded, this is a mirror: ftp://mozilla.ussg.indiana.edu/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/win32/en-US/ http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/win32/en-US/ You should download the exe version.
The website just went down in the last 15 mins. I was able to d/l beforehand and so far I really like FF.
ktmexc20, Here is another location where you likely will get rapid answers to questions about Firefox: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/sware You have to register, but its free.
Is this an issue going from 1.0PR (my first install) to 1.0? I recall reading it being an issue moving from 0.8 to 0.9, but I can't find anything regarding an install of later versions. JB
