I'm reaching the limits of tolerance with Netscape bugginess. Mozilla, however, doesn't quite meet my needs yet. I'd appreciate pointers on the following:
- How do I disable animated gifs under Mozilla. There's a utility
called the Gif Animation Toggle (gat) which will remove the
"infinite loop" logic from Netscape. Is there a similar
functionality for Mozilla? gat fails to work on the mozilla-bin
binary itself.
Ok. I've found that gat *can* be run against components/libnsgif.so
in the Mozilla base directory. This *does* affect *all* animated
gifs, including various progress meters, the 'M'/Mozilla image,
and other elements of the Mozilla UI itself.
- Font scaling. Many websites use a <font face=foo size=<value>>
tag, in which 'value' is some offset or absolute below the default
('3') font size. In Netscape, it's possible to set the scaling
step size to a value lower than the default 20%, allowing the
scaling range to be compressed to an 80% - 120% of normal, rather
than a 50% - 200% default setting. I'd simply like to disable the
step size, as I find it interferes with reading in virtually all
cases. Is there a resource or configuration setting to do this?
- Integration with an external mailer and/or newsreader. In my case
mutt and [r]tin, but specifics shouldn't matter.
- Appropriate forum for posting these comments.
...still waiting for a buildable galeon....
