(Mozilla 5.x) Since Mozilla is already Mozilla and Netscape the same there isn't any such preference to set in either one of these. As for this hotmail thing...it is not, and I repeat, "not" a factor when one visits the Hotmail site if you're using anything other then IE to be a hotmail user. Hotmail is very well funded and sponsered. To well in fact to have to worry about "what" browser it's patrons is using. I myself, as well as my wife and daughter in law have Hotmail accounts. We live in a Linux only house and access our hotmail accounts all the time from home when we have a need to. Both Konqueror and Netscape work just fine for this with "no" issues what-so-ever. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
