Bob,
Yes, but there's more. If you do manage to start typing in the URL line,
which you can do on occasion, you get an "applet failed to load" note, and
the whole page locks. In addition, being locked out of the URL line on any
page is not that unusual. I notice this when I'm trying to append/edit
query strings. Moving right along here, if this latter occurs, clicking in
a page text field corrects the problem - clicking on the page itself is to
no avail.

Subject: [Jmol-users] strange Firefox bug on Windows
While we are on the topic of browser bugs.... Has anyone noticed that if
you start to type into the URL line of a page that is currently loading an
applet, you suddenly cannot type any characters into that? It seems to be
effected only by typing into the URL line while Jmol is loading, not while
Java is loading. So it's after Java, but before complete applet loading.
You can't change the URL at all after that, and pressing the circular arrow
reload button doesn't help. You have to close the tab or window and load
the page from scratch to again be able to type into the URL line.
No such problem with Chrome or MSIE -- although, funny, MSIE is giving me
an "option" to install the BING bar and absolutely won't continue if I say
"Sorry, No Thanks!" Ho ho...
