Greetings Everyone,
I just reformated my primary HD and I am still in the process of putting things in order. To wit, I went to play one of my favorite crossword puzzles here:

http://thinks.com/daily_crossword.htm

and I get this message: Sorry, you need a Java-enabled browser for the Daily Crossword.

Do I need to download something or just enable something in Exlplorer/Firefox options to play? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks

You don't need to install a new browser, you'll need to install a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) though. Goto http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html and download the J2SE JRE not the SDK, unless you actually want to do java development. There are probably simpler ways than installing a JRE, but that is the way I usually do things.
