First, my thanks to everyone who offered help / suggestions.

After checking the add-ons suggestions, I came to the conclusion that it 
was a red herring as that's all about java / openJDK / icedtea. Simple 
javascripts worked and F14 Firefox has 
preferences->content->EnableJavaScript checked on.

So, with a groan, I started stripping down my html / javascript to get 
an example. And, to once again borrow the language of one the replies, I 
suddenly heard the loudest honking possible.

It a stupid typo that I usually know to check for given these web pages 
were written a long time ago on Windows 98se ... and I am stalling on 
admitting it as I feel very stupid for posting before I caught it.

One of the f-ing scripts was still assuming case-insensitivity for 
directory locations (shaking my head as I say this). How I missed this 
one and caught all the other Windows case-insensitive legacies is 
nothing short of the classic tree / forest blindness. I've even written 
a Python script to scan all scripts / code / data to try to root out 
every one ... I just missed one case (I was too clever for my own good 
in the 1990's when I wrote the html/javascript)

My apologies to all and, once again, thanks for all the tips !!!
Paul
