Sun Microsystems has made it known that users of Firefox v3.6 will need at least Java v6.10

That will help out those that have a problem with our java uploader. Usually if it doesnt work, that is the problem. Outdated Java platform, or no java at all.
Firefox 3.6 is still in beta, beta 5 to be exact. Suppose to play online videos faster than previous versions. I went from beta 1 to 5 in less than a week, so I don't know if 5 updates where in a week, or since it's release in November. I had assumed by first update to 3.6 was the latest and that was just a few days ago. I have not had any troubles with 3.6, but there are known crashes being acknowledged. So, best is to wait on the stable version of 3.6 before upgrading if your the faint of heart. ;D
I crashed Firefox on searchtempest.com so bad I had to destroy it. Think it was the new Java they are running. IE handles it well. Going back to Firefox...soon.
I have not crashed it yet. I have 3.6 b5 of Firefox and Java 6. update 17.
Firefox 3.6 is non beta now, remember to upgrade your Java to V 6.10 or later.
