Just upgraded Firefox from 1.08 to 1.5.0.7 on my old Win 95 backup PC.

At first I thought I'd hosed the networking because HTTP would only work on LYNX but not Firefox or MS IE. But turned out that I just needed to turn on the user console/interface to my old Win95 compatible version of Zone Alarm 2.6xxx and give permission to both MS IE and the new Firefox to talk to the world outside thru the firewall. Somehow MS IE had previously been blocked and I forgot or else the install made both MS IE *and* Firefox appear as NEW (i.e. unrecognized, therefore suspect) Internet apps to Zone Alarm (maybe a bug in old version of ZA or in something else old such as me).

P.S. Thanks again to Jeff G. for emailing the old ZA version for Win 95 to me a year or two ago.

Yer welcome. Hang onto it though, as I've changed machines; 95 to XP, and have lost it. Yes, to both meanings of that phrase<g>
