You're welcome.

I have to admit that my single biggest complaint about Mozilla is how things are spread all over the place, especially since every change broke many themes or extensions. Those links are the most reliable ones to me, so far.

I suppose while I'm here I should recommend my favorite theme to help new users get acclimated to Firefox:

IE5 theme for Firefox

It hasn't been updated to 1.0 so it's not perfect. With me, it won't note visited links. The theme maker says it's for up to 0.9 but it will install online. It will not drag into the Theme manager if you save it to the hard drive first.

Here's what it looks like on my machine:

There's another similar one that will look, I guess, more like XP if you select "large icons":

another IE type theme for Firefox

Some Mozilla types treat those themes like redheaded stepchildren, but I always view them as a good thing, especially for those around here who need a helping hand.

I really need to put some of this on my Freeper page.

Y'all hang in there....

I'd just mentioned problems with highlighted links, and someone posted a thread about the same problem. Maybe it's not a single theme causing the problem after all.

The thread:
