The IE 6.0 WinXP setting is good
enough to allow Firefox to log on to the Microsoft Exchange webmail service, which is usually
set up to require IE. If you want to run Linux in a mostly Windows organization, install the
Preferences toolbar.
Click the Customize button to add other buttons to the toolbar. You can add buttons to clear your
History or Location bar entries. You can even add a Popups button to prevent a page from opening
a pop-up window from Firefox.
Many of the preferences take effect immediately. Others may require you to restart Firefox.
Adding Java Support
If you want to display some Java content, but you see only a broken puzzle piece and a failure message
that says you need a plug-in to view application/x-java-whatever content, you can install the
software you need from the Sun Microsystems Web site (www.sun.com). Look for the Java Runtime
Environment package from java.sun.com/download. It should say something like Java Platform,
Standard Edition. Be sure to select the edition that runs on Linux.
