I am using Firefox 1.0 and hoping someone can help me here. At one point I had this fixed, after I did a reinstall, I lost the setting. Does anyone know which setting needs to be changed to allow the popups to show up. The pop ups I a refering to are the links for adding a star and the ones on the bottom of this text box for "Process TGML" and such. I have installed Tabbed Browser Proferences 1.0 which may be part of the problem.

It is pure javascript.

While the java VM should be unrelated to the issue, I have found reinstalling whether the MSFT or Sun or both VMs resolves the problem around 78% of the time. It should have nothing to do with a javascript issue, but it does in fact help:
Reboot and test after done.
 
Because this has been a problem recently, be certain to check your HOSTS file. If I remember iSeriesCodePoet you are running XP, so look in: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with notepad. The file should look like this:
[tt]
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
