Peter, I use kernel 2.4.4 with Mozilla .9 as well as the nightlies, so conflicts with the kernel are out. I would suggest downloading the .9 build of Mozilla for daily use under kernel 2.4.4. You really should stay away from Netscape's versions right now as they are based on much older release

Hi, I'd like to have your opinions on this: scroll bars shouldn't have context menu or at least not the same one as the web page's. What do you think? Sometimes I right click on the scroll bar instead of the page and it leads to a bug. I don't find it in bugzilla so I'll describe it. Plea
