Depending on your operating system and on your configuration you might have to do some of the following things:
- by (double) clicking on the JAR file.

FAQ
- (Linux users) Firefox enters "Offline Mode" when the computer is not connected to the internet. In "Offline Mode" Firefox fails to communicate with the TypeCraft application. This can be fixed as follows: open a new Firefox window and type about:config at the address bar; click on the button "I'll be careful, I promise"; type "toolkit.networkmanager.disable" at the filter bar you get there; double click on the line for toolkit.networkmanager.disable to set its value to true; restart Firefox.
