This is incorrect. You can never run a second instance of "the" browser. You can only run a second instance of a "second" browser. This means you must have TWO versions of the browser on you computer to begin with, and you must be currently using one of the two, and then then second one is being launched by the link as a default preference. I'm currently using Safari 4 (public beta) as my only open browser. I just ran an experiment to try and duplicate the supposed buggy behavior you're describing. I changed the default browser preference from within Safari>Preferences...>General>Default Web Browser: to each of my installed browsers. I then clicked upon a link from within an email within Mail.app (the link was in the G3-5 footer: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/g-list.shtml >. In EVERY case the link opened to the correct default browser, and in NO case could I make it open a second instance of Webkit or Safari. I felt this experiment was necessary because Mail.app does use the "installed" webkit framework to display .html email, so there seemed a slight chance a bug could cause the default browser preference to override when Webkit's "self-contained" framework was being used. On my PPC G5 this was not the case, the default browser was ALWAYS used with links from within Mail.app. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
