I'm running R-2.1.0 on a Linux box and found that the HTML search engine help would not work with Firefox 1.0.3 but would work with Mozilla 1.7.7. I have Java Runtime Environment 1.5.0_02 installed. With Firefox, when I launch help.start() and click to the search engine, it brings up the first page with "Applet SearchEngine started" in the status bar, but clicking on one of the contents entries or trying to search for a term does nothing.

It works with Firefox 1.0.3 for me on Fedora Core 3. Please consult the appropriate manual as linked from the search page: this is a configuration issue local to you. One irritating part of FC3's updates is that they do not (at least for me) copy the plugins across, so I had manually to fix up my Firefox 1.0.3 update yesterday. Sounds like your plugin is not set up correctly.
