O.K., this has already been answered. But there are certainly various Mozilla
features that are still awaiting implementation or under construction. (I can
only speak as of ver. 1.5 -- the version I have installed -- so please feel free to
update this.) For example: Cut & Paste is not available in the Bookmarks
window. You can drag a URL to another location in the file, which usually
works, but I have locked up the program a few times when doing this. Also,
I just found a site that NS 4.61 handles correctly in regard to links, but Moz
1.5 does not. I was looking for a couple of links mentioned in a news program,
and went looking for the website of the local ABC station. My old bookmark
was no good, because their site had moved, but I was redirected to

http://abcnews.go.com/

The links, such as those on the left side, like "Local News" are *not* Live in
Moz 1.5, but they work just fine in 4.61 (even if you turn JavaScript OFF).
Furthermore, this page seems to peg the CPU in 1.5, and I can't do anything else
in Mozilla after that; the only way out is to exit Mozilla. Until I tried this with
4.61, I was thinking I must have found a page with IE-specific requirements.
Why this should be, I have no idea. I'm sure there are some other Mozilla anomalies
I haven't uncovered yet . . . . But, *overall*, it still does a better browsing job than
4.61 can do these days.
