    Default Mozilla 0.9.8 out

    Mozilla has reached another milestone, and is now at version 0.9.8. While it's obvious that this is a horrendously slow process for one of the largest open-source program developments, it is happening.

    A number of improvements have been made since the last release, including load times, RAM usage, and of course numerous bug fixes (and, as is the usual fair, a few new bugs too). I have actually come to the point where I can use it in place of either Opera 6, or IE 6. It loads quickly enough so that it is no longer horrendous waiting in comparison to the integrated IE (though there is an option to keep Mozilla in memory even after it's closed).

    What does everyone else think? Of all the sites that I go to, I've had few, if any problems. The only thing I currently find lacking is the dearth of usage for the scroll wheel on my mouse (admittedly a microsoft one). Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I'm too lazy to look it up myself

    Default Arghh

    Well I tried it out. Worked nicely for awile, then all of a suden it cannot display images. Then what's worse it messes up Netscape 6.2, so it's having problems displaying images too. Load time is about 2 to 3 seconds faster than netscape 6.2.

    I am not having the scrolling problem with my mouse since Netscape 6.1. It's the four button scroll Logitech mouseman. Incedently I haven't gotton around to installing the drivers yet, so that may be something.

    I don't know what happened to mess up the images, but grrrrrr. Oh, I do have images enabled and the 'Show Images' is greyed out.
