Details

Click on 'Bookmarks/Search/Alta Vista'. Search does not go to Alta Visa search engine - it goes to Netscape search engine. beppe: please check on Win 98 cpratt: please check on Win NT petersen: please check on Mac claudius: please check on Linux
Severity: normal → trivial
Summary: Alta Vista search engine does not come up. → bookmark exists for altavista but probably shouldn't
this is correct behavior (after a fashion). netscape used to have a business relationship with altavista, but no longer does. all netscape bookmarks that pointed to altavista now point to a netcenter page that shows you the search engines with which aol/netscape currently have a business relationship. downgrading priority to trivial.
Target Milestone: M9
Set milestone to M9. Give me a break ...

Moving all Apprunner bugs past and present to Other component temporarily whilst don and I set correct component. Apprunner component will be deleted/retired shortly.

Is this still a problem? If so, should fix by beta ...
Summary: bookmark exists for altavista but probably shouldn't → Mozilla bookmarks should not be redirected through home.netscape.com
Since this is an open source project, and Mozilla is not Netscape, the default Mozilla bookmarks should NOT be redirected though home.netscape.com - they should point directly to the website URL. For example the URL for Altavista should be changed from: http://home.netscape.com/bookmark/4_06/altavista.html to http://www.altavista.com This applies to all the default Mozilla bookmarks.
