Ah, thank you! I will see what I can do with that and report back!

Hmm, SeaMonkey does not have Panorama built in, and I do not think as
an extension either. Once or twice long ago I accidentally clicked it
when I happened to be using FF, I was not pleased with the
performance. That might have been fixed, but if Mozilla does not have
it it is moot... Thanks anyway!

P.S. Just tried it on my work FF, it is kind of nice (still don't know
if 100 tabs would perform well), but no dice on Mozilla.


Thanks,
Kelly Clowers
