        \_ whoopie. now use another browser.
           \_ no I think it's called "losing visitors".
                \_ it's the original poster who loses in that case,
                   not the washington post. one lost visitor means
                   nothing to them.
              \_ no. LOTS of sites dont work w/ nscp4.x and mozilla and
                 netscape 7. That's how it is now, move to IE like the
                 rest of the world or suffer.
                 \_ I've been using mozilla 1.0/1.1 and except for a few minor
                    font size errors everything has worked fine.  --!sheep
                        \_ mozilla 1.1 allows you to set a minimum font size.
                           Rockin'.  -tom

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

9/13    Blah blah android blah, ok other than the bootjack stomp of the

        Android TCL scripting framework that was used for automating
        and controlling desktop apps (like mozilla for example). Thx.

7/15    Any comment on Firefox 3.5?  Better or worse than 3.0?  Thx.
        \_ currently has an unpatched remote code execution vulnerability,
           don't upgrade yet.  -tom
           \_ Ooh, glad that I asked.  Thanks!
              \_ 3.5.1 just released fixes it, supposedly.  Might be worth
                 waiting a few days to see how it shakes out.  -tom
