It seems strange to ask this now, at the end of the season, but my wife
has suddenly needs use of my windows machine which I previously used for
this purpose.


This url points to the live timing of Formula 1 races

http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/live_timing.html

It uses a Java plugin to provide the timing screen.

When I go there with Linux/Iceweasel it tells me it needs to install the
java plugin - but then fails to install it. I am not sure what the
issue is - java is installed on my machine. Is there a separate plugin
to link to that command line runtime?


Is this a problem with the site, with Iceweasel or what?

It requires login.

I was missing this plugin - I didn't realise it was an extra needed.

Works now in IceWeasel - thanks
