The Netscape 7.0.1 thread
Anybody else using it?
I noticed the "hard crash while using the mousewheel to scroll a webpage while not fully loaded" problem has been addressed. What did they do? They disabled mousewheel functionality. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> Er, I guess that does take care of things, but I was hoping for a better fix. Maybe this indicates that it's a serious problem that cannot be fixed easily?
Ah well, there's a half-dozen other things I've found that will hard crash 7.0 (all of them having to do with scrolling stuff, oddly), so we'll see how those things pan out in 7.0.1.
Anybody have experiences to add?

I haven't tried it out, yet, but I read a new feature of 7.0.1 is you can get it to open not only a homepage upon startup, but open a tabbed group of your favorite "home pages" upon startup. That's phenomenal! Very rarely does a feature come along that utterly answers a need that I had in the first place.

I don't want to go everything Apple. It's just like go everything MS

OK, I need to take that back. The mousewheel seems to work on some pages, but not on others, some days, but not on others... Who knows what that is all about? (rhetorical)
