[Zope] Mozilla 0.99 is quite Ok for Zope

Hi

I have been using Mozilla 0.97+ as my primary browser on windows for 
about 1 1/2 month now, and I was generally pleased with the experience: 
I have experienced perhaps 1 or 2 crashs.

I have now installed the latest build: 0.99 and it has solved nearly all 
the little things that bothered me in the previous version.

It is in fact better than IE6.0 at running the Zope Management Interface 
due to the bug in IE forgetting to take the width of the scrollbar into 
account. And it's easier to open many many pages due to the fab tab 
browsing feature. It generally renders correctly too.

The mail client is better than Outlook express, and I'm to stingy to pay 
for outlook proper ;-) I have several POP and IMAP clients running 
without problems.

Irc is built in, which is quite convenient. It's not great though. I 
cannot paste multilines.

Did I mention that the "Tab" browsing feature is *great*

The Composer seems to be quite ok for simple editing. Is there any work 
happening for making it a an editor for Zope ? It might be a good simple 
approach instead of using the MS EditControl for such tasks.

Well... just wanted to let you know.
