I use mozilla, M18, now recently just upgraded to M.6.

No luck yet with RealPlayer. But I have two odd problems as well,
maybe you got these to work:

- can't get ssl to work (https: links). I'm using rh7.0 and openssl is
installed by rpm. I tried compiling and installing, but that didn't
change much. Maybe I just have to compile moz from scratch?

- I can't get it to recognize helper apps. I go to prefs/helpers and
enter things, but they don't "stick." I don't see them in the list,
and each time I download something of that type, I'm asked
again. E.g., pdf's should be opened by xpdf.

I'm inclined to think moz just isn't mature enough. Although I use it
for all my non-ssl browsing now.
