In favour of Mozilla (1.7.3):

about:plugins does also work for Firefox

5- Mozilla has a "composer": very useful tool.

that's the difference between a suite and a browser.

In favour of Firefox (1.0):

1- When opening a new tab, Firefox doesn't jump onto it (very nice, like Konqueror).

that's configurable also for mozilla CU, Wolfgang Rosenauer -- SUSE LINUX GmbH -o) Tel: +49-(0)911-740 53 0 Maxfeldstr. 5 /\\ Fax: +49-(0)911-740 53 489 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v simply change to www.suse.com

2- I found Mozilla is now very stable, Firefox suffers many crashes!

3- "Home Page", "Navigator Startup Page", "New Window Page", and "New Tab Page" are all independently adjustable with Mozilla and this is very useful (e.g. we can set all to "blank" but "Home Page" to "mail.yahoo.com").

4- "download manager" in Firefox has nothing more than it in Mozilla (no resume for later); The case here is that Mozilla has "progress dialog" which is sometimes preferred, while, it doesn't exist in Firefox!

5- Mozilla has a "composer": very useful tool.

6- With Firefox, type inside a *single row* text-box (like the address-box of Yahoo Mail) until it becomes full. Now, type one more character: What do you see?!! (A horizontal scroll-bar makes it unavailable!) A great bug that there wasn't with Mozilla.

In favour of Firefox (1.0):

1- When opening a new tab, Firefox doesn't jump onto it (very nice, like Konqueror).

2- Key-strokes for www...org and www...net is added.

3- Web-page saving corrected(?)

4- I use to download mozilla from mozilla.org and keep it for installation inside any distribution I have, not to download distro-specific rpms. By doing so, only the first window of mozilla opens and the next ones ask me for creating a new profile! (why?) I had this problem with any version of Mozilla came out and with both RedHat and SuSE. I solved this issue by editing the shell-script of old rpm package and redirecting it to run the new version installed. With Firefox, there is no more such problem.

If a more complete list be created and confirmed, we can send to mozilla community for asking improvement for both Mozilla and Firefox.

Mozilla (and Firefox) are best instances of cross-platform products, since their high speed, very low memory consumption, wide compatibility, excellent graphical setup, while totally open-source and free.

Thank you for your notice, Bahram Alinezhad, Rudehen, Tehran, Iran.

It seems they took a number of things out of firefox-1.0 that were there in earlier versions, including some extensions, things that worked fine. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
