I tried Mozilla once in a school computer lab of machines running Fedora Linux. The thing's butt-ugly, and I was never once tempted to use a tab. In fact, every time I tried to click the center mouse button to quickly scroll down a page, the stupid thing would bring up some error message about not finding a link to open in a new tab. No thanks; I'm sticking with the Evil Empire :P

Yeah, because you were using the default theme. :roll:

If I find a bug, I just download one of the nightly builds. Usually within 2 - 14 days, the bug is gone. MS can't do that...

When they discontinue Mozilla (which I use because it has everything in one), I'll move to Firefox.

Was this, by any chance, Mozilla in Linux?

I get that bug all the time in Linux (using Mozilla 1.4), but never in Windows. I think it has to do with the default middle button behavior of Linux, not with Mozilla or Firefox.

Yeah, it doesn't do that in Windows.

He said it was in a Linux lab, BTW. ;)

I believe X treats middle button as the left and right buttons pressed at the same time.

Mozilla Suite, been using it since 0.9.4 and never wanted anything else since. :) I actually use everything it comes with, and I prefer it over FF since its memory management is far superior.

I use FireFox because it blocks popups better than IE. It does do that right?
