bha.. I don't consider Netscape to be a browser, more some kind of illness.

"(often it is a caching problem though... btw, when you suggest clearing the cache, also say that they have to close the browser, some browsers wont fully clear the cache untill you close them.)"
^^
I wasn't talking about Netscape Patchou. Netscape's cache is one of the easiest to clean. You even don't need to close the browser I was more referring to IE.

Oh, and let Fraisie state her solution in that thread you spammed... We would like to know it, so we can help others....



PS don't mind the spelling mistakes

which makes firefox the cure


fire cures all ailments

Wats the dif with FireFox and FireBird?

Firefox is Firebird, but they had to change the name due to a conflict with another Open Source project that was also called Firebird.

So now we got
Firebird version 0.6
Firebird version 0.7
Firefox version 0.8

The new release also marks a name change for the new browser, which was previously known as Mozilla Firebird. “We are pleased to release a new preview version of Mozilla Firefox,” commented Mitchell Baker, President of the Mozilla Foundation. “To avoid overlap with another open source project, we have decided to change the name of this product from Mozilla Firebird to Mozilla Firefox.”

Along with the new name, Firefox sports a new logo and the Mozilla Foundation is kicking off a grass-roots Get Firefox campaign to spread word about the new browser.

* user2319 wonders why Patchou is so pro-MS

Did they pay you?

really, maybe netscape sucks, but opera and mozilla (firefox) don't.

I am not pro-Microsoft, I'm just trying to be more objective. When I start Internet Explorer, it works, within 1 second. When I install Netscape and launch it, it crashes. When it doesn 't crash, it stil ltakes it a while to load so that it can display its ugly interface. My conclusion: Internet Explorer is better than Netscape.

And why I hate this company so much? simply because they were at the top 10 years ago (I used Netscape Navigator at that time and I was very happy with it), they went down because they never successfully updated their software and tried to find more opportunities to make Netscape more worthwhile than IE, and when they realized they were not capable of doing it, they concentrated their efforts on blaming Microsoft for their failure. I too sometimes insult Bill when a MS product is screwing up, but I have to be honest: it doesn't happen very often (and for you neither, else, we would all be using another OS and another word editor).  When they screw up, fine, blame them; however, accusing Microsoft for every problem the computer world has to face is not the solution, and I just hate when people accuse someone (or some entity) for no reason except jaleousy.

On that subject, I would like to make it official. I have two companies on my die-list: Netscape and Real Network. Why Real? haha, if you ask, that's because you never installed any of their software (or had to use it afterwards). And after years and years of not being able to update their video client, they've now joined the "Let's get some money from Microsoft" club. That's pathetic.

So, yeah... all I wanted to say is that I'm not pro MS, I'm just don't think that I should force myself to find good things in competitive products just because it's "cool". I don't say that you can't love using Netscape, I just say that I hope you're not using it only because you're "not using a Microsoft-empire-of-evil product".

Note about Opera: the Opera internet browser is a very good example of how a company can try to inovate instead of complaining like the morons at Netscape did . It just proves my point. (I do not use Opera but I do like it and I recognize that it's a better browser that IE for many reasons).

i'm with patchou on the real networks thing..  i wount even install it on my comp anymore and i really really wanted to watch that .ram music video. (hundred million - trebel charger )
