I found one of the download extensions prevented it from presenting a GUI. So I avoid that one. Have several others loaded. The TabExtensions and Stumble are my favourites. And the UserAgent extensions finally let me use my online banking, which firmly refused to believe Mozilla could do its dropdown menus. Now that I can lie to them it works fine... Actually, Mozilla 1.3 is a little stabler. If you try to open several dozen windows at once in Mozilla it copes (with recent releases, say 1.2 onwards). Phoenix has locked up on me for that one. It may be timing related. Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 cs@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ SPSS. Big honkin' stats package.
