I am sorry, but this is just not true. Please search the R-help archives for lots of comments about people having problems and others reporting success with e.g. Mozilla 1.3 and 1.6. The problems are not to do with R but to do with the Java or JavaScript installation or settings. (I am currently only able to get this to work with the latest-but-one version of Sun's JVM on RH8.0/9/FC1.)
I am puzzled by your reference to IE 6.0: does that run under RH9 (there is no 9.0, as far as we know), and if so where did you get it from? The search engine runs in IE 6.0 under Windows if a JVM is installed.
