idiotic problem with ActiveX and Gmail
Gmail keeps telling me that all ActiveX controls need to be enabled for it to work. all conceivable ActiveX controls are turned on and it still does not work (other than in basic HTML). has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Seriously, I can't stand using Gmail with Safari. The IM component doesn't work, it hangs periodically...Firefox not only works great but has a plug-in to let you monitor/manage multiple Gmail accounts.

hmm, the plot thickens. keep up the logical argument and I just might change. how much HD space does Firefox use?

ronin- a few megs. teh download is like 11mb or so... as a bonus, there is a portable firefox that you can keep on a USB thumbdrive thingie so you can use it with your preferences, bookmarks, plugins, etc. on many different machines.

Also, by turning off activex and javascripting, you'll be surfing a little more securely.

Semper drive!

And don't forget your "Recommended Add-ons".
My favorite is GSpace, which allows you to use your GMail space as file storage, with a Windows Explorer type interface. Recommended Add-ons Randy edit: The link for GSpace.
