u mean to say that mozilla & netscape are not compatible? so if i take a DLL
from mozilla & copy it in netscape it wont work? I tried out this & it gave
me an error.I copied a DLL from the dist\components folder in mozilla &
copied it into the components folder of netscape, replacing the DLL present
in netscape.
I checked the sizes of the DLLs, even the DLLs with the same name in
mozilla & in netscape have different sizes.So i guess the DLLs in the two
i.e. mozilla & netscape r not interchangeable. Is this right?
Plz clarify further.
thanks.
