I see that Mozilla 1.1 has support for managing which web-sites are
allowed to pop up windows. I seem to recall that Athena didn't go to
it because of a belief in a dearth of features (or something)? I'm sure
there are lots of other features/bugfixes too (and doubtless some
instability).
In any case, I'm sure we'll move eventually.
What's the timetable for the upgrade, and how constrained is it going
to have to be?
If you think it's too soon to be asking this question, well, I point
out that we often lag far behind the rest of the world in software
versions, and generally this isn't considered a good thing...
I mostly ask since running Mozilla out of non-local disk is pretty dog
slow (i.e. the mozilla locker). Perhaps the mozilla locker maintainers should
encourage people to mirror the locker to local disk...
