Outside of having javascript enabled,it should "just work".   It works on 
firefox 1.5.0.4 on ubuntu linux, and also whatever firefox I use at work 
(fedora core 4, I think its a 1.0.x version). It's entirely possibly it needs 
some adjusting... do you get the input columns highlighted at all?

I don't understand how python is less susceptible to bit rot... less 
susceptible than what?  Personally I don't care for the planetplanet software 
we use on planetpostgresql which, while written in python, feels "bit-rotty"
