Thanks for the reply Jim, you've given me something to investigate further.

Firefox = 8.0, Sun Java 1.6.0. and Mandriva 2011.0.

I feel the problem may not be solvable because Bigpond's site worked 
quite well and then all of a sudden I had trouble logging into the bill 
paying section. A Google search shows that they had "upgraded" their 
site making Firefox unworkable.

The links between Thunderbird and Firefox don't work for me either but 
that's another problem common to many Linux users, apparently.

Anyway, thanks for your advice, I'll do some more checking.
