I'm sure many of us feel like that :-) I have always thought that the main problems were probably caused by M$'s 'extensions', but if firefox can handle them it should be possible for that knowledge to be applied. That is, of course, unless it would introduce serious code clashes. Only the developers/maintainers can answer that one. I don't really care about the sites that over-use eye-candy, but sites where I need to make a payment and the vendor's system doesn't work properly with konqueror are a real problem. Anne
