netscape 7.1

grr.

when netscape (yay!) introduced tabs into its browser, a right-click on a link would get you a menu that first listed "Open Link in New Tab" and then "Open Link in New Window" second.

internet explorer (boo!) always has "Open Link in New Window" listed first, so it took some getting used to when going back and forth between browsers. but i did get used to it.

so i open netscape yesterday i get a friendly little message saying that an update for version 7.1 is available. would i like to download? why, yes i would, and thank you for asking!

first of all, why did it change to the fugly "classic" theme by default after i installed? the update install did not change any of my other settings.

but my real gripe is that they've changed the right-click menu so that "Open Link in New Window" is now first, and "Open Link in New Tab" is second. why change it? it's minor and not really worth getting upset about, but... why?

bitch bitch bitch.
