'go ahead and up grade to latest stable.' 'it does not happen here.' as is, firefox is well written and given a lot of thought. when thought does not work as thought, answer/solution is always to up grade. there are various ways to configure firefox, thru menus, via config:edit, via add-ons. some changes work just from close and open. some have required reboot. iow, software is software, regardless of who wrote it. -- peace out. tc.hago, g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
