Best browser/e-mail for OS X?
cocoamix:
Mozilla and AOL both use the same rendering engine, so maybe thay are interfering with one another.
Calum:
hmm. i don't know the answer, but i just wanted to add a sentence or 2 about the original question.
don't bother with iCab, it emulates IE, but quite badly.
When using mozilla, get the last *stable* build. this is most important if you want to avoid crashes.
Opera - yes it is very good, but is ad supported, if you don't pay for it. This isn't a problem, but you will probably want mozilla hanging around as well.
psyjax:
Ok, first off, Mozilla dosn't jive with browsers running on it's engine.
I have installd it on the same system as Netscape 6 and 7 only to have it totaly freak out into an unusable pile of bubbling puke. So I woulden't be surprised if this is the source of the conflict.
Try deleting the current mozilla, (do a search and find EVERYTHING mozilla related. I belive it puts some files in Application support in your Library folder.) then do a re-install.
Another issue could be the version of Mozilla, did you download the new Alpha or the current stable build?
Finaly, DUMP AOL!!! That's your problem, not Mozilla, AOL sux major ass. Get a real ISP.
OmniWeb, is a great, free, OSX native browser.

BLAH:
thank you for your help everyone! And yes, i am aware that AOL sucks ass, I only have it because i'm locked into some 1 billion year contract with them or something
So I think my problem was something i changed in the preferences, though I'm still not sure what it was. I deleted all the mozilla files off my computer as someone suggested, then reinstalled it. When i opened it, it worked, and then i changed all my preferences to what I had before. When i closed the browser and opened it up again it did that weird thing i mentioned before.
So I deleted all the files again, reintalled it, left some things alone in the preferences area and now it works.
Oh yea, and can anyone possibly reccommend a good isp that I can use for both my PC and MAC? (PC for the parents, and the MAC for me). Hm maybe I should just start a separate thread.. ;)
