To answer your question Jonbo, for example when Mozilla Firebird crashes it automatically clears the cache for security reasons, so I believe that is why it happens for you since it is based on Mozilla 1.4, which is what Firebird is based on even thought it has the 1.5b in the string.

Personaly I am more partial to the stand alone browser called Mozilla Firebird. I have tested almost all of the Firebird 0.6.0 and 0.6.1+ versions now as I am a bit of a nightly build junkie heh. The last few official nightly builds are a bit borked though, and I have been sticking with Aug.10 for moment.

I can't wait to see Mozilla (suite) 1.5 be final so FB 0.7 will be out, which may happen by end of month if a list of some 10 or so bugs get fixed without making new bugs in process.

Opera is a good browser but I really don't like the banner box (Opera throbber joke) and it crashes on me 10x more often the Firebird, among other things. I don't even use IE anymore at all, as I use Filezilla ftp to upload stuff to my webspace to host pics now for an example.

I have to say I don't like Netscape 7.10 much either (mostly because of looks), but it still is way better then say IE in compairson.

Thanks Seven7. That really cleared up the confusion of why everything has to reload when I have to force close NS at my grandma's house once in awhile (she's on XP, im on 98) or at mine. +rep
