Wombat: tell me about the flash blocker, is it part of mozilla (have not seen it)

Flash Click to View, available on the Extensions page that shows up when you click on it in the options. The link goes here: http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions.html

Thanks for that, as its firebird only plugin I guess I'll have to take the plunge, using moz 1.4 right now

Have you tried installing it anyway? It's easy to disable extensions of they don't work. Firebird is such a close derivative of Mozilla I can't imagine such an extension working for one and not the other.

tried, it came up with message saying it could not install because it was incompatible...which is no biggie, as mozilla is officialy going firebird/thunderbird instead of the single app, so I would have to changeover anyway.

I have finished the changeover, hmm the default theme is quite close to the crystal theme I was using, and it is quite nippy, All's well

It can't suck any more than their dun does. It is the worst I've ever come across anywhere in the world!!!!! Unfortunately, it's just as bad with the competitive ISPs, cos it all goes thru' Cytanet, anyway. They seem absolutely intent on not improving their services, in the 5++ years I've subscribed with them, despite numerous complaints. I sent them, a few months ago, a week's log of 89 failures comprising
- inability to access DUN
- if their gateway permits access, inability to log on (~50% of tries)
- if logged on, no access to DSN
- logging on at slow speeds
- e-mail downloading impossible
- e-mail downloading or browsing blocked in mid-page
- access cut ( line suddenly becomes engaged)
-etc.
