Dina- "Yeah, I like Firefox better than IE but I really do wish
history browsing didn't stall it."

Could you translate this into English '...history browsing didn't
stall it'?

You know that in your Mozilla/Foxfire preferences you can set the span
of time for which history is retained.
Menu-> [Edit] [Preferences...] [Navigator] [History]

I don't know if it will go for 50 weeks, but you are able to enter a 5
digit number (99,999) for the number of days to remember. Mine is set
to 10 days, but my current history list actually goes back to Aug 30,
2004 based on "First Visit". 

I love Mozilla (currently using ver 1.7.2), never any pop-ups, spam
filtering, tabbed browsing, rarely ever affected by viruses or
security problems, adheres to TRUE web page design/display standards,
and much more. It's much safer, easier, more convenient, and it's FREE
FREE FREE!

I don't open Internet Explorer unless I absolutely have to, and the
last three times I did, I was instantly infected by computer viruses.
I surf for hours with Mozilla using both the browser and email, and
have never been infected by a virus that wasn't my own fault (ie:
manually opened an email attachment, something you should always do
with extreme caution).

Regarding the attempts by some websites to surpress right-click, I
find that with most of those websites even if they try to surpress it,
the right-click menu still appears; very very convenient.

Mozilla is the Browser, Email/newsgroups, Instant Messaging,
Composition Suite.

Foxfire is the Browser only program.

Thunderbird is the email/newsgroups only program.

I use the Suite (Foxfire+Thunderbird+more).

Just passing it along.
