No, I got their latest called Firefox, love it. Even allows you to increase font size Is anyone using Opera Browser? Are you able to view the MrSid viewer at Ancestry.com?

Glad I just subscribed to this forum. First, do a General forum search at http://my.opera.com/forums/ on keyword MrSID. This will provide background and tips. Setting up MrSID in Opera is a little tricky, since MrSID was written for Netscape 4. Here is what has to be done: 1. Find the Opera plugin path with Help/About Opera. Then see if MrSID.dll and MrSID.ini are in any directory in that path. If MrSID was installed in Netscape, Opera should find it. If not, copy those files from the MrSID installation directory to one of the Opera plugin directories. Then restart Opera. 2. Check that MrSID appears in the plugin list in Tools/Advanced/Plug-ins. 3. Set Tools/Preferences/Network/Browser identification to Mozilla 5.0. 4. Go to Tools/Preferences/Filetypes and find image/x-mrsid-image. Click edit. Make sure the Use Plugin box is checked, and that MrSID Browser Plugin appears in the box below that. That should do it. Plesae note the quirks in the forum articles. Also, note that I have better image handling at high screen resolutions (1280x1024 for me). The entire image is more saveable as one file. Ancestry tells me that they are planning to standardize on one image viewer, so MrSID may be on the way out (don't quote me, though). BTW, I sure love Opera for genealogy. Sessions, mail, notes, lots of pages at once, all immediately visible at a click, keystroke, or mouse gesture. Jim Raehl Patience9@aol.com wrote: > Is anyone using Opera Browser?

Yes, the latest Firefox is good. However, it is not from Opera, but Mozilla. Opera started out as a research project in Norway's telecom company, Telenor, in 1994, and branched out into an independent development company named Opera Software ASA in 1995. Opera Software develops the Opera Web browser: http://www.opera.com/ Mozilla project was launched by Netscape in 1998 as an open source project. Firefox is the most recent innovation. The Mozilla browser is still available also: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ All three of these browsers are worth using.
