I have disabled SVG in FF2, and I now normally get the "broken image" icon, but IIRC I sometimes also get a missing plugin warning. (JFTR, that is no weird religion on my side, I try to figure out what causes FF2 to use 99% CPU for minutes reacting to nothing less than KILL PROCESS TREE, and I'll reenable SVG if it's innocent). > every major browser (except maybe Safari) has implemented > some sort of browser assisted plugin installation. Bad. I'm not interested to "get silverlight" as long as it is not available for W2K. I'm not interested in installing strange plugins, and as admin it would be on my top 10 todo list that users cannot install plugins as they see fit. Personally I can accept that Quicktime for W2K is insecure on my box, professionally I couldn't. Frank
