I have it

in Firefox 4.0.1. You should see that the preferences have accept cookies and do not block pop-ups (maybe useless, but just in case). I guess, it is some preference setting that is different from mine. Play with it and see if chat appears.

No problem!

IMHO, all browsers are more or less the same. Just choose your favorite one(s) and enjoy web surfing.
FYI, I have Firefox chat on two different machines, both running 10.6.7.
