Re: [PLUG] Plugins and Mozilla
|
Mike:
I'm trying to find a good browser for Linux, currently try to use
Netscape 4.72 & Galeon & Opera.
None of them work particularly well. I haven't tried Mozilla yet,
partly because I didn't know how different it would be from Netscape
Communicator itself.
I've just looked at the www.mozilla.org site, and it says there that the
latest version of Mozilla is 0.7.
Where does the Mxx version numbers come from (below M6 is supposed to be
later than M18?).
2nd question...... I see RH6 RPMs for Mozilla available. On the FTP
server, there are stacks of RPM files, one for Mozilla 0.7, M17, M18,
lots of developer files, and then some mail & psm files.
Which are necessary for running Mozilla? All, or just the main modules?
Also, which mailing lists are best to read for Mozilla?

What do you use for SSL browsing?
