I wasn't implying IE was the problem, rather, trying the other browser to troubleshoot the problem. I use Firefox most of the time. However, there are some problems with it as well. For instance, some websites have not been designed to work with Firefox. Also, Firefox does not always play well with corporate security.
I did find a neat feature for Firefox where you can right click on a link and choose to open it in an IE tab. It uses the IE engine in the Firefox browser. That gets me around the few places where Firefox does not work correctly.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the foreman whether this fixed his problem or not.. I removed all java. plus some other junk he had installed, put in firefox ( works ok.. ) re downloaded java while his pop up blocker was disabled...
We do have to access a few websites that are IE only .. so will see where this goes... Am hoping this fixed his problem at least for now... will post back when i hear more.

Can you download and save any other files from other sites? If so:
Go here https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jre-6u13-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer
Fill out the required info
Try to download and save :Windows Offline Installation
jre-6u13-windows-i586-p.exe 15.53 MB
After the file is DL, close your browser and try to run it.

Are you attempting an install over the internet or a download? The reason I ask is that we have had trouble installing Java over the network. Instead, we download the files to the computer, then run the install locally.

Another nice thing about downloading it and saving it is that if it messes up, you don't have to download it again.

We do this so much at work that we have a network share with most products like Adobe Acrobat Reader, flash player, java, etc... in it as well as printer drivers, OS cds, and other program CDs. Seems we always need to download something. For instance, if we add a memory stick or replace a HD, some Microsoft products detect a "major hardware change" and require teh installation CD to verify that you aren't making illegal copies.
Anyhow, our software store really does save time.
