I have to admit to not having tried. This is mainly because a version of
firefox that isn't 6 years old, runs considerably faster and isn't full
of known security issues is available on every one of RPCEmu's host
platforms.

As for why it doesn't work, possible bugs in SA emulation might be a
cause.
