Re: How to Patch Mozilla .. yikes!

Damn..

I've seen 'other' people/software places put out patches, that you just 
drop in the proper directory (as indicated in the readme.txt), execute 
it, and it fixes the thing itself.. like moz14_W32patch21.exe (just an 
example of an executable patch not a real file).

Its unfortunate that alot of the moz information is so spread out that 
it chases away basic and moderate end-users.  Now it would seem, looking 
for fix/patches is just as user friendly.


(public service note)
Of course, I should add, that IF such files existed, they should only be 
retrieved from a trusted download site.  Do not accept email/news 
distributions.


Thank you.
