Title: Mozilla Troubles
Post by: Pissed_Macman on 23 December 2002, 06:49
I went to a web page with Mozilla that opened a dialogue box asking if i wanted to do something, but i couldn't choose any of the options because the spinner started spinning. I couldn't do anything, so I just clicked the desktop and had to force quit Mozilla, dumping the unsaved changes I'd made to me site  :mad:  . I tried to open Mozilla again but it did the same thing as soon as I did. IE views that same page that froze Mozilla up just fine and now the Moz is utterly unuseable. I even restarted the computer and Mozilla still does that. Now I'm getting depressed because I have to use IE   :-P

Have you tried Chimera (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/chimera/) which is a native OS X browser based on the Gecko    layout engine. It is supposed to be really good. You could also use Opera (http://www.opera.com/) but unfortunately you have to pay for it  :( .

Not necessarily.  You can use Opera for free, you'll just have to have a banner ad displayed across the top.

What version of Mozilla are you using?  You should really make a bug report to Mozilla, explaining the problem.

ummm, Netscape is just a poor version of Mozilla.  Netscape is based on Mozilla, and adds all kinds of AOL advertizing on it.  Its not even worth looking at.

Its working fine now. Made a bug report. But IE is fucking up now. Fortunately, I don't care.  (http://smile.gif)  

And even if Netscape wasn't shit, it still looks like shit.
