Hi Charles! :-)

 CA> My install of Firebird clocks in
 CA> at 18.3 meg on an NTFSv5 partition, Mozilla v1.3 clocks in at

How do you know IE didn't install some extra stuff in your Windows directory?

 CA> For many years now Netscape (Mozilla, now Firebird) has been

Mozilla and Firebird are not Netscape. Netscape occasionally takes the
Mozilla source code and makes a new Netscape release out of it.

There is no Internet Explorer available on any system that I use because I
only run Linux. And there, Firebird is a really nice browser because it is
more lightweight than Mozilla, is fast, and displays almost all web pages
correctly.
