Failed with Firefox 3.5.11. Didn't notice at first. The page must load
problems randomly. The first couple times I tried it loaded the second problem
without error because the model hadn't been loaded previously. Once I clicked
through several problems then quit Firefox and restarted it then it "reliably"
failed to load them with the usual file access error.
It may not be the case that the page was failing in Firefox going back that far
in time. It might very well work ok with previous versions of Java. I don't
have a machine with an older version of Java on it to test that.
