Hi,

Actually, you can set Mozilla to load it's DLLs at startup just like wot
happens with IE. I'm surprised this is considered a problem anyway, as you
only have to open it once. A small price to pay for a far superior browser.

I have not tried FireFox, mainly because I like the superior mail and news
facilities offered by Mozilla, and I believe FireFox is "browser only"?
Unfortunately, I'm writing this actual message from within OE:(
