As a matter of fact, Dotan, we here in Sweden lie slightly behind Europe as a whole with regard to understanding our «options». In the event that use of Firefox can be considered to be an adequate metric. According to XiTi's figures from September this year (*http://tinyurl.com/ypptoy*), some 26.1 % use Firefox here, while for Europe as a whole, the corresponding figure is 27.7 %. A greater proportion of Swedes use FF than is the case in other Scandinavian countries, but the Finns are far ahead of us - in Finland FF use amounts to some 45.4 % of the total. I have no idea what the situation is in Israel or the occupied territories.... Henri
