Thanks Surjit, that does seem to be it. Makes it kind of pointless having a preferences box into which the ignorant can laboriously type their proxy details, but I suppose they intend to change this. I suppose they'll have to if they want anyone to take it seriously. Back to 4.76 and 'Captain Crash' then. Thanks again Fergus On Monday 19 February 2001 15:41, you wrote:

Hi people,
Having read the positive comments on Mozilla 0.8, I thought I'd give it a whizz - the installer programme that resembles the ns6 installer segfaulted in exactly the same way as ns6 set-up always seems to on my 6.4 machine, but I was able to install the tarred version and make it start by running the mozilla script.
Nice, it all starts up, I can open all the menus, change the skins, what have you - and see local files. But it doesn't want to work at all in looking at the web. All network services are in place, but there is something more fundamental wrong, it's just not even trying to look for http addresses. I type them in, or enter them in the 'open URL' dialog, press enter, nothing at all, no activity. Anyone got a clue what it's doing?
Best Fergus
