Ok so point me to the how-to to get that to work, when I go to an https
site it just sits there on the old page saying "Document: Done"

doesn't work for me, When I move the cursor over the map of Oz it
changes to a hand but clicking does nothing. NS4.78 works no problem.

Yeah I know it's broken in many other ways but I'm trying to swap out Windoze
desktops for Linux and I need a browser that works for things like netbanking.
I know a lot of this is a problem with the w^hbankers but some like St George
work with Netscape in Linux but not with Mozilla. And like it or not Java and
Java script are on a lot of sites, I'm afraid end-users aren't prepared to
sacrifice their current functionality for an idealogical cause. No don't
start, I "get it" the gnu/linux, open source "free" thing and understand my
part and obligations in the big picture, one of which is to try to swap out
windows. Biggest stumbling blocks are good web broswer and a good word
replacement and Abiword looks the goods once it supports tables, and Mozilla
is getting close too, just need to kick a few more goals.

So any tips on how to make it happen gladly received, cynical comments about
MS software or Java etc --> read, apply grain of salt, smile --> /dev/null
