Possibly an XP issue as I am running W2k updated with FF updated & Java
1.5... latest also. Just went to your link and the puzzle shows just fine.

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from computer 2 and then reinstalling
a recent version (1.6 is the latest release; 1.7 is in alpha).

what makes you say they don't work. Test it out here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and here:

Also, java and javascript are two different things. They have nothing
in common except for the work java.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I accidentally found the solution
looking through everything on the tools tab. I saw that the adblock
extension had an update available so I updated that and the problem was
solved. It would never have occurred to me to look there except by chance.

I haven't changed over to FF2.0 yet. Does it warn you when extensions
need updating?

Adblock, or Adblock Plus? I'd recommend the latter over the former.

Firefox 2.x does tell you when updated extensions are available.
