I'll echo that - use Firefox and Thunderbird - used them since
they started. Mosaic upgrade.

They were bought by AOL and then that fell apart. Now they are
a band of good programmers that are around the world keeping it
together. In spite of constant upgrade in standards.

Was a Unix user and enjoyed it. Now I have a crazy and wild
monster size phone it looks like - version 8 in a 1080P double wide
screen. What a messy computer. They think computers are for 15 year
olds and made a dummy screen like a phone. Big icons they call
something else. Always taking credit and making us pay. No start
menu. Sucks.

They have a massive amount of what not junk that fills the screen.

Martin - wonders what 8.1 is like.

That is consistent with my recent experiences with
Firefox in general. It really seems that they are not
QA'ing the releases anymore and each release just brings
about a new form of crash or hang. Mozilla does not
appear to be the Mozilla of old. Mysterious behaviors
that mysteriously disappear a couple of days later after
a mysterious middle of the night upgrade. And the only
evidence left behind is a new mysterious anomoly.


Hmm...maybe Microsoft surreptiously bought them out and is now doing the
coding


I'm using Firefox and Thunderbird as my default internet apps. I've
used them for years, and have never (well, almost never, and not for a
long time) experienced crashes and hangups.
