Well, if it's not firefox's fault, switching to a new browser may not help. > So, the point is: what browser now? I use Konqueror near exclusively; Bon Echo (non-Mozilla-branded Firefox 2.x) is reserved for site whose javascript is not supported in Konqueror. It (Konqueror) even has the ability to use 32-bit plugins in a 64-bit browser. If you use other kde application you'll enjoy the loosely-coupled but tight integration, like adding RSS feeds to aKregator from Konqueror. I was an avid Opera user before I switched to Linux. It's an integrated browser along the lines of Mozilla or Seamonkey, containing (at least) a mail and new client in addition to the browser. IME, it was able to handle anything sort of ActiveX (that is, everything Firefox can), but occasionally you'd have to change your browser identification string to something more IE-like or FF-like to convince the webserver to give you the correct page. (Google for: opera oprah microsoft) I was a fan of their support newsgroup, it taught me a lot of little tips and tricks (ala Firefox's about:config stuff) that ended up making my browser experience uniquely mine. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
