    Firefox and Java problems

    Hi there

    Can anyone help with a website problem.
    It works fine with Windows and Firefox (at work)
    but not on my machine at home, Ubuntu and Firefox
    No point complaining to the site runner, I am sure its a firefox and java issue, but not sure how to solve it.

    The site is http://www.trafficengland.com the map will not load and just says 'applet loading' and in the task bar says 'applet started'
    It loads for a short time, then goes blank, it even sometimes crashes firefox completely.

    Does anyone have any ideas, I need to see the traffic info for today, thank you.
    Kind Regards, Leona

    Try to install Sun (now Oracle) Java 6 plugin package. Please, follow these instructions.

    Open System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager

    Then select Settings -> Repositories -> Other Software and tick http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner. Close.

    Reload (maybe you will need to restart Synaptic).

    Finally, install the package sun-java6-plugin (and the other packages automatically selected, of course).
