This can be resolved by re-starting your browser session, i.e. completely quitting the application and re-starting. This affects users regardless of platform and browser.

<		 This tool requires the JRE (v1.4.2 and up) in order to work properly.* This is likely to cause problems with OS X users using browsers other than Safari. By default, Firefox and other OS X web browsers use an older version of the JRE which is incompatible with this tool.* There is a solution that allows Firefox to use JRE 1.4.2+ which can be found here. Unfortunately this fix does not seem to work for the OS X version of Internet Explorer.
