OT - FYI ..Foxfire 1.0 due 9 Nov

[Helen]

Few people get excited when some new software is released, especially when the program is
not a game or a music or movie player.

But the release of the first full version of Firefox has managed to drum up a respectable
amount of pre-launch fervour.

Fans of the software have banded together to raise cash to pay for an advert in the New
York Times announcing that version 1.0 of the browser is available.

The release of Firefox 1.0 on 9 November might even cause a few heads to turn at Microsoft
because the program is steadily winning people away from the software giant's Internet
Explorer browser.

I must be in the future. I've been using Firefox 1.0 for some time now.

Well, you're a little late - like a year or so - give or take a few days.

LOL! That was in a folder....sorry about that. It wasn't an intended post.

But since the subject is here, I have a question about FF.
Is it possible to use a munged addy in FF as in Outlook Express? If
the answer is 'no', then I shall refrain. TIA.

OE is a news/mail program, FF is a web browser... so I would say NO.

Using Thunderbird (which is to Firefox as Outlook Express is to Internet
Explorer) yes, this is indeed possible.

Yes; I'd have to say you were a bit behind the curve.
