I called up MBNA just now, and eventually was routed to technical support. Of course the answer I get is "We don't support Mozilla." I replied "I'm not *asking* you to *support* it, just don't *exclude* it. If you would just code the page to WWWC standards, there would be no problem." Again the "we don't support it" mantra. I said "Just make a note that at least one customer is seriously pissed off that he cannot access your Web site with his fully 128-bit encryption-compliant browser." I might just have to dump the friggin' credit card. > >> (2) Accessing sites which require certain plugins. >> >> I know that (1) is (e.g.) MBNA's problem, but (2) is really starting >> to bug me.

When I installed QuickTime, there was no option to install anything but the Internet Explorer plugin. I'm sure the Netscape folks have figured this stuff out for 6.2, and bet that the same procedure and files will work for 0.9.5, but there's no information about plugins available on the Netscape site. I just wish somewhere there was a how-to on getting plugins working in Mozilla. Oh yeah, another gripe: how come every single time I access a RealAudio file the darned confirmation box comes up? Unchecking the "always ask when opening this file" does nothing, as does attempting to install it as a helper app. Though I suppose this can be found in Bugzilla. -- Mike Koenecke to reply, change "nowhere" to "home"
