Well I tried Mozilla for OS9 and hey it's fast, almost as fast as Safari on the eMac but the scrolling on any page is jerky at best. I allocated twice the suggested ram but no help. Also it works great with eBay but I still haven't found out how to get the preview of an image to work when selecting them for upload for IE or Mozilla. Does the image have to be in special format? This is one of the nice features of IE and Mozilla with OSX.
