Correct! When Microsoft EOL'd a ten year old OS (XP) the wailing's from certain factions was deafening. Now with Mozilla EOLing a product less than a year old the sounds of silence seem to be propagating. The best part is that many of my "add-ons" again no longer work. From what I can see in the ports system, and I may be wrong, there is not an option to use the version 4 either although remnants of version 3x seem to still be available. It appears that a user is forced into version 5 from version 4. Wow, and people bitch about Microsoft's update policies. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+f...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored. Do not CC this poster.
