Leonie, I'm glad you managed to find a solution to the problem and I accept your points, but I'm just an ordinary user with no knowledge of Java and source code, all I want to do is access my favourite sites, and this new version prevents me from doing so. All I ask is that Freedom Scientific keep legacy support in the program until it is no longer required by users.
