I have been using Mozilla on W2K/XP since the early milestones and I
*always* installed over the previous installation. It finally bit me
in the butt when going from 1.4b to 1.4RC3. That is when the spell
checker cause a problem..
At some point, the Mozilla ppl have to make a process where you can
upgrade without deleting the previous installed version
> Many common mozilla problems are actually caused by poor installation.
> Make sure that your old copy of mozilla is completely removed prior to
