As I mentioned earlier, this fix worked and also helped me to choose Netscape as the 
browser.

But a new problem has developed. Whenever I click on a url in TB, a new Netscape 
window opens rather than
using the same one. Is there a way to fix this?

Here's why I want it this way (in the hopes that someone can offer an alternative 
solution if they think of
it). I've just switched to TB from Netscape's mail client. I read my news from email 
alerts that have links,
so when I click on a story it opens in Netscape. I don't read it right away. Instead I 
read all the mail,
click on the links, and then go back and read them at some laterpoint in the day (it 
just works better for me
that way). But if TB opens a new window each time, and I click on 15 stories, well, 
you see the problem.

thanks!
