I started using Firefox recently at work (mac at home) because I got sick of IE. At times certain things don't load on pages and say they require a plug-in. When I try to find one none are available. Specific to this site is the tire size calculator. I know there are some here that use Firefox because I have seen it mentioned.

Can anyone help?

the tire size calculator requires a Java enabled browser ...

I didn't have to do anything special for java to work in Firefox (or Mozilla) - I already had installed the normal JRE and JDK packages from java.sun.com and they were detected automagically.

I really like Firefox a lot. Not that there is that much "wrong" with IE IMHO, at least if you're a Windows user. (In which case you basically have to use IE for certain stuff to work well, or at all.)
