My Mozilla browser is not working to good with the latest Java; can I update to Foxfire with Mozilla installed to ensure I get all my bookmarks transferred and then uninstall Mozilla?

I run both on my computer, and updating and transferring bookmarks between the two is very simple and fast. I have had no problems, by the way, with Mozilla Suite and the new Sun Java.

Maybe you would give me a clue then. Mozilla wants to reload java everytime I need it while my I/E just purrs along.

I would suggest you uninstall whatever Java version you have, and then go to Sun and get the latest JavaRuntimeEnvironment, and install it.
