Hi minnesota, I've just looked at the URL you are talking about and
everything works fine for me. I too have ZA as a firewall (although I
use the Internet Suite rather than Pro) so I don't think that's your

Have you enabled Java and Javascript in Firefox? You can find the
setting in tools/options/content.
