This is quite annoying since the PC is having to       run two lots of essentially similar browser code in its limited RAM/VM       (although FF uses multiple processes so doesn't crash through running       out of 32-bit addresses like SM).              Like Daniel, I think that a similar approach, customising Firefox, or       some other browser with an internal 3-digit version, as much as you can       to avoid whatever annoys you is the only practical way to do what you       want. By adding some extensions you might hit a just-about-acceptable       experience. But really that is off-topic here.              /df              --       London       UK                            --       London       UK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
