That sounds like what I'm talking about, yes.
I never mentioned the email client or a newgroup client. I've never even
seen Mozilla's email/usenet clients. I don't use them. I don't want
to use them. I want a kick-ass browser. That's all. I already /have/
kick-ass email and usenet readers. :-)
There is something on the navigation bar -- ah well from the other messages
I've seen here perhaps I'm using the term incorrectly; the thing that
appears and disappears when you check and uncheck the View -> Toolbars ->
Navigation Bar thingy -- which looks like it could be a URL You Are Here
location bar. It's got the little yellow-and-green icon (what /is/ that
thing?) and a text field connected to a drop-down button. But nothing
ever appears in it, and if I type a URL and click Go, nothing happens.
Since there isn't a "show the buttons as text only" choice, and the back,
forward, reload, and stop buttons are HUGE, and the thing which looks
deceptively like a location bar is only there to make me wonder if I'm
hallucinating for all the functionality it seems to have, I don't display
the navigation bar. I would if it would help me copy out the current URL,
but it doesn't, so I don't.
(I am thankful that I have the choice to not display the things that don't
help me. IE forces itself down my throat, and Netscape keeps re-inserting
the fscking Personal Toolbar Bookmark into my bookmarks list even though
I keep deleting it. Thank you Mozilla for giving me back authority over
my software.)
