243837 2004-06-13 06:55:00 The default version is 1.4.1. That loads from the Run Command, AMSN, and is in the menu on the taskbar (what does linux call it) Growly (6)
243838 2004-06-13 07:05:00 Right, I just renamed the folder, reinstalled 1.6, went back to mozilla, it came up as 1.4.1 (it told me that it deleted all previous versions)... and the same problem. I would show you a screenshot, but it aint the same as windows :S Growly (6)
243839 2004-06-13 07:39:00 Look for Ksnapshot amongst the menus for a screenshot.

Unfortunately your problems are beyond this linux noob, keeping an eye on it out of interest.

243840 2004-06-13 07:44:00 So just where did you install the newer Mozilla? Try opening it from that directory.

ALT-F2 ksnapshot :)

Running out of ideas here .... although if you enter into the address bar about:config and then filter for font you will see what all the curent configuration settings are ... in great detail.

Something has gone wacky for sure.

243841 2004-06-13 08:08:00 Back! My one last idea :D

Seeing as you currently have two Mozilla versions installed and the 1.4 still loads when you launch it off the taskbar or by Run > Command, you could use the Add/Remove Applications program and uninstall Mozilla from within that. It should be listed under Graphical Internet. This wil remove 1.4. But then, go back and reinstall it via Add/Remove again. This will ensure a fresh installation of Mozilla (1.4) is installed at least. You will still have the 1.6 available but it will need to be launched via its shell script.

Updating programs with RPM's is a good way of keeping track of the installations. There are normally third-party pre-packaged Fedora specific RPM's available for Mozilla shortly after each new release. Using these to upgrade with prevents having two versions of the same browser.
