So sorry to be late coming back to my own party. I have installed Firefox and am getting acquainted with it. Too soon yet to have a strong opinion about it. My bank's site doesn't like it any better than anything else I've tried.

I did so shortly after receiving this. It doesn't help with the banking, and I'm getting mixed results with other websites. Some load faster and with a better layout. Others hang and won't load completely without refreshing or reloading 2 or 3 times. > > There is a new version of Safari (V1.3 -- the current is V1.2.2) that > is being tested and should be released very soon (runs on Panther) > that has a long list of improvements, including ones that address > issues you are raising, not to mention setting new speed records.

I can give you a really good reason: MS's stuff has big holes in it. I find it rather shocking that a financial institution trusts it. If you have more specific points that I can express to the bank's management, I would love to write them a letter of suggestion. > or fire up the Terminal App and do the following: > > To turn on Safari's Debug Menu, Quit Safari, launch Terminal and type: > defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1 > Launch Safari and the Debug Menu will be active.

As noted above, this hasn't solved everything, but I'm learning a lot from tinkering with all the new options. Thanks again!
