The link did not work for me either. Perhaps this is another
manifestation of the ITTVIS web site being a bit broken (and Bill may
also have mistyped the tip#). As Bill Okubo wrote on a different
thread yesterday: "We completely overhauled the ITT VIS website over
the weekend and some things are still not working correctly."
Anyway, I did file a request with ITTVIS tech support yesterday and
received this quick reply from one of the tech support folks:

I returned the information yesterday at about 1pm, but have yet to
hear back.
I'd rather go for installing a patch or installing some libraries than
removing stuff from my system that might require me to downgrade my
version of Firefox. So, I'm waiting to hear back fro ITTVIS.
I did find another mention of this on the ITT user forum where a
person said they only had to remove the i386 versions of Xulrunner and
some other things to make it work - and this did not impact
functionality because they still had the 64-bit versions.

Waiting to hear back from ITTVIS
