[WSG] Java support in Firefox

2006-06-27 Thread Visually Insane Genetically Modified Organism
I do not know if this is off topic for this list. If it is please forgive me. I am not sure who to ask. I am finding Firefox's Java support to be weak. Internet Explorer seems to work much better with web pages that use alot of Java (ie web stock pages) and /or webpages with a .asp extension.

Holy crap! I'm not a personal user of Opera, but this attitude alone could change my mind. Kudos to you, David and to your company. If other (*cough* microsoft *cough*) browser makers would take this sort of position in supporting developers there'd be a lot less grief on the web. Well done,
