      Not Found

      The requested URL /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.10/Firefox Setup 1.0PR.exe was not found on this server.

      it eventually went, but I had to reload a few times. Guess the server is being hammered. I only use firefox for Gmail, because Opera isn't Gmail compatible. Stupid ass activeX.

        I haven't researched this at all, but I'd be surprised if Gmail is using activeX. Wouldn't that make it incompatible with Linux? I can't see Google doing that.

          You'd think that wouldn't you. Alas, Gmail does use ActiveX and that is why Opera is incompatible with Gmail. Gmail has keyboard shortcuts and some other features that are typically found with stand-alone email programs (like when you start typing a name in teh TO, CC, BCC box it auto-populates of suggests names from your contacts).

          I would think that you could use Gmail in Linux as Mozilla/Firefox does have an ActiveX controler. I use FireFox for Gmail and Opera for everything else. I suppose they figured Mozilla and IE took up so much of the browser market they didn't need to worry themselves over little Opera.

              Lovingly ripped from the Gmail help section:


              Yes. Gmail now supports Safari 1.2 and newer.

                  They have always recommended you don't do that. Don't worry, your mail/bookmarks/etc. are saved in your profile folder, which is under Documents and Settings and nowhere near the installation folder.

                    It's not too bad is it.. OWA was a bit slow to load up at first... But I think it's pretty good. The images load up in a similar way to the way that compuserve used to load up gifs but a million times faster. How does it all fit into a 5 meg download though i will never know..

                      It seems you can with this version. The install notes didn't seem to warn against it, and it imported my old settings.

                          Yeh firefox went alright sadly you can't for thunderbird. Perhaps I'll skip a release until they get thunderbird to the sort of standard that can install over the previous version.

                            Why can't you just delete the tb directory and put the new tb directory back in the same location?

                            It's what I did and works fine. Just remember not to delete your mail & profile directory.

                              Yeah, all I do is uninstall the old versions and install the new ones, no reboot required or anything.
