Thanks Holger, this did it, though the Java applet on Half.com that I
discovered this bug on seems to load in about 10X the time that it loads on
Netscape 4.7. I waited a goof 45 seconds before the price comparison data
appeared in the window, whereas in Netscape it was almost instantaneous.
BTW, it might be worth noting that "your profile directory" is not located
within the Mozilla directory structure, which is the intuitive place for
those of us who have been using PC's for awhile. I looked around for it for
a little while before doing a search for these two files on my entire hard
drive, finding that Mozilla puts its preferences in the Windows profile
directory, not in its own profile directory. Specifically, in 2K, it's in
"C:\Documents and Settings\[profile name]\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\[profile name]\mbd4cn0z.slt\"
(Could they have hidden it in a more cryptic directory structure? What's
wrong with using "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Profiles\[profilename]\"?!?)
