I did exactly as was recommended,knowing full well there is problems with Quicktime.It is,to me,a superb browser,small,concise,very fast,no silly toolbars to play with,fully functional with much more room on screen for the user.Just have to go into preferences and get rid of Apple as the start page,insert your own.With this great browser,I can finally sideline the IE7 which is too bulky,far too slow and cumbersome.Highly recommend it.
