SIPB has been getting piles of people walking in asking
what to do about netscape crashing when displaying large
PDF files, many from 14.A02.
I'm under the impression that Netscape should not be using
the acrobat plugin by default anymore -- but it seems to be
in a large number of cases.
Am I wrong about the default?
Can netcape-fix be enhanced to remove the plug-in?
It would be nice to give users something a bit more cookbook
(add infoagents; netscape-fix) rather than having to have
each and every one of them edit their preferences.
