Pete,
It's a fair point and I'm sure you won't be alone in wanting legacy
support to remain in place. All I can do is suggest you contact Freedom
Scientific and let them know how you feel.

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.
Regards,
Pete H.
