That means either of two things:

1) You did not read Note #3 at
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.javascript/msg/9f1953d6e73c6821>
so used the source corrupted by Google Groups. Either edit the code
manually after copy-and-past or take the verbatim copy from
<http://www.geocities.com/schools_ring/al.zip> (this is the updated
version btw supporting launch parameters: cross-browsers as well).

2) If it still doesn't work for your Gecko browsers (including Firefox
2.0) then your current installation of them is broken: I would suggest
reinstalling then as a broken installations can be vulnerable to
security exploits.

Opera is not a Gecko-based browser: its security model requires a
further script adjustment which I did not bother to do so far as it was
not monetary interesting.

P.S. "no Opera support" is clearly stated in the script comments. That
makes me question again if you really got a single look at the script
or are you just blindly dispropagating it out of your very own ideas of
the "good of community" ?
