Not horked at all. If I use the mozilla home page as default get can't 
find server error. When I setup Netscape as home page and type in 
Hykosis Kings and hit search, defaults to the netscape Ask Jeeves search 
engine. If I have to use Netscape and all its ads  for a search engine 
then mozilla has little advantage in that time wise it must still load 
the netscape home page then access the ask Jeeves search engine. It may 
be a couple months ahead of netscape but all that seems to mean is that 
it's got all the bugs that will be solved before netscape distributes it.
