Thanks for all your assistance so far guys! Bret - yes, you're right - it is a different issue because my error is produce consistently every time.
Alex - 32-bit (Linux emily-desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux) Is there a way to check if the jssh extension has installed successfully (apart from it appear in the Add-ons > Extensions list in Firefox). I keep feeling like something hasn't installed correctly or I've missed a step. Would anyone know if it's possible for router settings to affect the jssh extension? (I'm just thinking of any differences between my work & home setup).
