As reported here in other threads it seems that jmol-based 3-graphics fails in FireFox under Windows XP. I am not sure if it is all configurations anv versions or only some but I do have one laptop running Windows XP and the most recent version of FireFox and this still fails with the newest version of Sage on a remote server. If this is the same problem then I am quite sure it is not a virtual machine problem.
It was my understanding that someone (the original jmol developer?) was aware of and working on this problem. No?
