Not for me! I am using 4.61 [en]-010615 here with their site and am
just about ready to file. I had to add the following to prefs.js:
user_pref("os2.emulate.windows", true);
I am also running Java 1.1.8 and have both Java and Javascript turned
on. I also use SmartCache, but I don't think that is a factor.
