Don't you hate people that answer their own posts?
I got Moz .9 running again by deleting the registry.dat (for about the
50th time), but now I had to start/import a new profile again, and it
put it in windows/application data/mozilla.....! Jesus, how about a
little consistancy. I already had a salted pref directory under
Mozilla!
Well, I'm back to N4.7+. I got Moz .9 running again, but it's also
trashed all my newsgroups (I've also sent in 3 or 4 feedbacks this
morning alone). I know how to fix this, but frankly, I getting tired
jumping through all these hoops every few days just to run Moz. I'll
wait for 1.0 and hope the programmers can finally make Mail/News work
*reliably*. I've been an official beta tester before (visual Page, Namo
web editor, etc.) so maybe my perspective is skewed, but it really seems
like they just don't have a handle on this. How may years has it
been? I know if this was a regular *purchased* product, they sure as
hell would have had their act together long before now.
