I disabled .. then removed Java about 0900 Eastern and played around with what I usually do.

I found no effect except ...

I don't go to FR as my homepage without logging in and password

I've been in "convenient" setting for FreeRepublic for 14 years and I have never had to re-enter my screen nasme nor password.

I can boot up in the morning, click "Internet" in my start-up, and go immediately to FR, which is my home page .. no log-in etc.

So, being lazy, I re-installed Java, checked up that I have the latest version and shut down, re-booted and I STILL have to log into FR.

I changed my setting to "more convenient" andf it didn't make a difference. NOW, I can't get into FR without logging in and password.

I don't like that.

Can anyone help me on this ?
