[Proteopedia] Firefox problem fixed

During the last couple of days, if you visited Proteopedia in Firefox 
on a Mac, and if you were not logged in to your Proteopedia account, 
Jmol failed to appear on any page. The bug in Proteopedia that caused 
this has been fixed. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Mac Firefox users will also notice a new yellow banner at the top of 
every page. It advises them to check Zoom Text Only on the View, Zoom 
menu. This banner appears only for Firefox on Macs.

In Mac Firefox, when zoom is used, and when Zoom Text Only is not 
checked, the Jmol applet becomes offset from the space it is supposed 
to occupy. Sometimes an edge of the molecule is cut off. Worse, 
picking with the mouse does not work properly because atom are not 
displayed in their correct positions. Perhaps some of you have seen 
this behavior for other websites that use Jmol.

Sincerely, -Eric
