I did a search from "my.netscape" (which I have as my home page) for
"Kalevala" and some of the suggested links contained odd characters
replacing standard Nordic/German characters. It could be that it is the
encoding of the page itself that brings these oddities and has nothing
to do with Mozilla itself.

acceptance of Mozilla as an approved browser. Last reminder sent to them
