   Review - Mozilla for Linux

   1.4 Final (Jul 1, 2003)

   ie is bloated in that it takes up so much hard drive space.

   Floodland: you can rate the program without reviewing it.

   Review - Forgotten FTP Password

   1.0 Beta (Jun 30, 2002)

   If it supposedly uses zero footprint, then how come I get a big SVCHOST process from it? WB is faster anyway, especially with hyperpaint, and the skins are much better.

   Review - IconPackager

   2.0 (May 30, 2002)

   Keeps getting better. I just wish someone could find a workaround for that non-explorer-shell folder icons issue.

   Standards compliance is great, and page loading is faster than M$IE. Plus it doesn't crash.

   you can't specify height as a percentage. height as a percentage is invalid CSS, because what is it supposed to be a percentage of? the W3C has the idea that the browser window is just a view of part of the webpage, and thus height = 100% means 100% of the webpage, not 100% of the browser window. I'm not sure I agree with this, but it is consistent with behavior. Try setting the height to a pixel or point value and your scrolling will work properly.

   the overflow css property isn't working for you in Moz 1.3? that's odd, it's working fine for me. can you show me a testcase? I use it on my site and it works flawlessly and just the way I expected it to. It also works identically in IE 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0, so it's not some alternate interpretation of the standards either.
   
   IE "loads" faster than Mozilla because the program is loaded at system startup and it's really just displaying a new window. However, IE is slower than Mozilla at loading and displaying webpages on my machine. Is this not the case for you? I would say webpage displaying speed is the real speed test of a web browser, especially since it happens a lot more often.

   how about giving a single example of that? I've never ever seen a standards compliant site that loaded right in IE and wrong in Mozilla.

    actually, it is an entirely different program. the mozilla/netscape mail interface is written in XUL, aol communicator has a native windows interface.
