I installed it last week and I like it better than Explorer. What plug-ins should I get for it? What are your favorite ones? I cant use features like I did before on some sites.

My plugin list is

QuickTime 6.5.1
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19
Java 1.4.2-3
Acrobat Reader

I haven't had any trouble with web sites not working with Mozilla. If anything some work better on some systems than with IE (ESPN comes to mind).

However, it is possible to have a web site detect IE vs. other browser and fail for others. Opera has a way to fix this by claiming to be IE so thst the web site sends good HTML.

One other trick: a *lot* of web sites send WMV files with a bad content-type: they claim to be sending a text file, so Mozilla displays text. IE has a bug and shows the video - probably what the user wanted, but not what the web site said, it will cause problems in other cases. Just save the file to disk and then play it there, and complain to the webmaster.

The adblock extension is amazing--you can add wildcards (*banner, *advertisement, *counter, etc) and block more ads than you see.

tabbrowser extensions is good for forcing everything to stay in one instance of the browser, preferential is good once you get a feel for things and want to speed things up by increasing #of http servers and enabling pipelining.

jrv-can't you just edit the user agent text that identifies what browser you're using?

I use Mozilla and also Mozilla Firefox which is my favorite. FUCK IE.

Hey Lord Asriel--I might have some good news for you I just ran across on mozdev--installing the latest Java fixes the bug apparently. web page
