I found a new thing today. I was annoyed that my Mozilla was so slow in linux while it's very fast in Windows and I got lots of extensions installed in both profiles. So I killed my install and got a executable from mozilla.org instead, started off with a fresh install. This time I limited the number of addons I installed to make it run fast (as it does with no addons) and I was satisfied apart from the fonts which looked like shit. To get rid of the uglyass helvetica default for the menus, I messed with the files described here (http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#userContent) and changed the font declaration to verdana which I like.
Too bad the default install looks so ugly on linux while it looks pretty in Windoze. For some reasons they are too big when running on the "default system setting", setting them to 96dpi did the trick.
I also discovered a new fantastic IE theme that I just had to try but it wouldn't run on my 1.7b version. :totti:

i hate it when the 'bold' funtion in this forum dont work in mozilla as they work in IE... also my yahoo massger functions cannot connect correctly with mozilla.. in fact most of Yahoo Aplication have to be done in IE to work... and you cant copy pics from the internet using Mozilla.. while in IE its just as simple as copy and paste..
Yeah, suffers from some bad IE specific coding. Should be all better in vbulletin3.
Dunno about that, many software vendors code their crap specifically for IE...
I call that a feature rather than a bug What's wrong with saving the file to disk anyway? And where would you want to paste a picture anyway? In a document? Where else?

if you deals with graphics and stuff, it would not as annoying if you can just copy it and paste it directly to where you want it to be in the page... thats why..
beside i dont call it a bug myself.. more like a minus..... but of coz Mozilla have their own plusses.. especially their Pop Up blocking... it seems that those pop up hackers still dont try to hack it...

how do i update by mozilla?
and one more thing... there always times when mozilla need to download certain JAVA script when i want to do something.. but all they do is direct me to a Netscape Navigator site and when i download that, and install it, it still seems that the probllem is still there...
Mozilla is good and fast and all... but its like with Mac and XBOX... better graphics, but less important application that can be use with it....

Just install a new mozilla from the website.
For java you need a vm. Head over to java.sun.com and download
http://java.com/en/index.jsp
Mozilla is a fully featured browser. It abides by official standards and implements the latest technology. It does NOT however support special extensions created INTENTIONALLY to work only with IE.

Here is a great reason to not use Internet Explorer:

Basically, people are hacking into servers and add malicious java script to the sits to really mess up your computer. Many people are recomending that you don't go on the internet at all today, or if you do to disable java.
Or you could use Mozilla, Opera, Safari, whatever.

Good news Martin :LOL:

Security firms and Homeland Security within the U.S is warning everyone of a new large scale attack on the Internet that's currently under way. Security firms say that thousands of web sites have already been infected by a virus. If a user goes to a web site which has been infected, the user will become infected if running Internet Explorer. The virus takes advantage of an exploit in Internet Explorer an exploit that Microsoft has yet to fix. Once a end-user has been infected with the virus, their computer will be used to send spam to millions of people.
The Internet Storm Center, a site that collects incident reports from computer industry professionals, says malicious code was first detected on websites about five days ago.
NetSec, one of the large security firms, said there are some well known sites already infected but they declined to name the affected Web sites for liability reasons but said they are "big, big sites."
Only web sites running Microsoft's IIS (Internet Information Services) web server can be infected, so Overclockers Club is safe from this one as we don't even run Windows and for that reason
"There's a potential for widespread impact because currently the (antivirus) vendors don't have a signature for it," said Dan Frasnelli of NetSec.
Update: We have gained more information about how the virus infects users' PC's. Web sites that are infected will have JavaScript code appended to the bottom of web pages.
If you are running an IIS 5 server you should verify that there is no unusual JavaScript appended to the bottom of pages delivered by the web server.
Wondering what server software your favorite web sites are running? Surf on over to Netcraft.com and they can automatically tell you.
You should also block 217.107.218.147 IP address at your firewall. This is the IP address that the virus sends information to.
Anti-virus signatures are now being put out and the virus will be named "JS.Scob.Trojan" with most anti-virus porgrams.
