Mozilla not relocating properly.....
I just noticed recently that I am getting a 302 found error and it displays the lines below. This page runs fine in IE. At first I thought it was my coldfusion code but now I think it is a mozilla thing. I do think this was working before and just recently broke. I am running mozilla 0.9.3. Anyone have anythoughts? If no thoughts, I am just going to try and reinstall.

mouseover problems in moz 0.9.7 win32....
I have been running 0.9.7 since it came out and just recently it has started acting up. When I mouseover a link it usually shows the URL in the status bar at the bottom of the page, now when I do that it only flashes it and replaces it with "Document: Done". This isn't the only mouse over problems, this same thing hold true for all my drop down menus in mozilla. The Blue indicator only stays highlighted for about a sec and then doesn't indicate the highlighted menu item anymore. I know of others who have experienced the same effect. Does anyone know how to correct this short of deleting my user profile? Thanks Rich
full screen toolbar.....
Is it possible to setup mozilla to use the full screen toolbar in the normal windowed mode? I love the new fullscreen bar, it is very compact and looks much better then the bigger version plus will save some real estate. If not I really hope they are looking into letting you select it. Thanks, Rich

Java in 0.8: how?
I just installed release 0.8 using the installer on my Linux box. When I access some Java page I get the message to download it. I click ok a couple of times and then it downloads and installs right into the directory where Mozilla is installed. Next time I hit a Java page the procedure repeats. It replaces the old Java stuff but I could never get it to work, though. Yes, I do have a dir /usr/local/mozilla_i386/plugins/java2/ filled with stuff. What do I have to do to make it work? Am I missing something? Regards -richy.

Change of behavior with sub menus on the personal toolbar
I have most of my commonly used bookmarks set up in sub folders by topic within my personal toolbar folder. This gives the effect of dropdown menus, which is very handy. In Mozilla 0.9.1 (and earlier), holding down the mouse button over one of these sub folders on my toolbar popped up the menu, which stayed open until the mouse button was released (with the action of opening the bookmark the mouse was over). In 0.9.2 if you hold the mouse button, mozilla tries to drag the toolbar folder instead. I can still access the items by using a windows style click and release method rather than a click and hold, but if feels inconsistant to have to use that method to access the toolbar items.
view source on mozilla 0.9.2
I am a web developer and I really love the new mozilla but I have noticed when you click to view source it downloads the page from the server rather than the page you are looking at. Probably most times this is okay but much of the web today is dynamic and isn't always the same source you are looking at. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this a bug? Rich

The 0.9.3 browser doesn't work with my bank's internet banking site. They say they have written the HTML generating in their cgi scripts to work with I.E. and Netscape, but only Netscape 4.76 displays their forms correctly (well I.E. would work but I only have Linux on my system). What it does is in the bill paying form, where there is a default amount in the form field for the amount to pay on the bill of 0.00, it displays this above the form field instead of in it. I will try to capture the HTML for this form next time I log in there and send it. Perhaps I could suggest to their support people what needs to be changed in their HTML to make it work properly. yet when I actually type an amount into the field, this amount gets displayed in the field.
