Yes, I meant that as well, since some of these older machines are by default set like that, and no UI way to change it. I noticed this as well on the x64 mini's SeaMonkey has that are 10.6 but my research showed that x64 was unstable on that version of mini we have so I didn't turn it on :-) -- ~Justin Wood (Callek) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
