Correct. However, Java 1.3 on Mac was terrible. Therefore, it is not a supported configuration. If you want to prevent future support issues, I will consider adding a check which prevents Jmol from running on Java 1.3. > One can persuade Firefox to use 1.4 by using eg > http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaplugin/ > but most default users will not have installed this. > > so I suspect his behaviour is due to using FireFox without the javaplugin > installed.
