Hi Anne,
At this point I think I'd pick either Netscape or Mozilla, and uninstall
the other. When thats done setup the program and user profile. Then
after that being done get the plugins installed and everything running.
At this point it should be ok to install the other browser if you really
need to. I suspect Mozilla will be the easier of the two to deal with
and should be a good bit more behaved when you attempt to start the
ProfileManager to set things up for Mozy.
The two of them do indeed run on the same browser engine, but they don't
seem to want to play nice together. I've experienced this on both
winders and Linux. Speakin of Winders...I blew up my XP installation
last night. I prolly oughta git to work on it. I still have tax returns
to prepare. GOD! I love Mandrake. takes a lickin and keeps on tickin!!
