Firefox 1.5xx on XP Pro using our 2meg pipe at work - worked fine.
Will have to try dial-up at home.
We are limited to 56K here - when lucky, get a 43k or 46K connect rate.

Opera is now nicer than firefox, which is loaded with so much backgroun
crap and really is a resource problem on XP.

Oh - I can't WAIT for ROB to comment!!!!!!!!!!  ;-)
