In fact, the only people who seem ambivalent or supportive of the change were people who said that they didn't use -turbo in the first place. Those using it correctly pointed out that unloading and then reloading Mozilla when the last window closes defeats the whole purpose of the -turbo setting. I can get that exact same behavior by not using -turbo at all. Turbo made Mozilla usable on my PIII-450 by getting around the long load times. It meant that I could put a -turbo session in my startup folder and have instant access to Mozilla whenever I wanted. The way works now, however, I've got to stop and check each time I close a Mozilla window to make sure it's not the last window open so that I don't accidentally kill the -turbo session and then be forced to suffer through the drain on system resources and time while it reloads itself. Like I said, I may as well not use it at all. Please change it back or at least give us a switch so that we can turn off this this new "feature". If I feel that Mozilla is eating memory then I can kill the turbo session myself or choose not to use it. Right now, there isn't any real choice. Thanks, Ralph
