[SATLUG] A few questions on Mozilla 0.9.8

[steve kolars]

Walt,

I have to agree with Mike.  Go to http://www.mozilla.org and get the 
latest stable software from there.  You will be much happier.  Hold 
on...  Before you do that...  What version of what distro are you 
running?  You might have more issues than just an old browser.
