Hey there,
I was wondering if there might be a way to have firefox NOT be case sensitive. See, I'm browsing a file catalog indexed via htm and every time I try to acces one of the files, it cannot find it 'cause the filenames are in capital letters. Since it's way over 1000 files, renaming them doesn't seem an option. Any suggestions. Thanks

If the catalog is hosted on a web server, then it's the webserver that needs to be case-insensitive, not Firefox. Firefox doesn't have anything to do with it, unless you're using Find on the page (which is case-insensitive).

So the question is, where is this catalog hosted? Locally as some files or on another webserver? A *nix based web server will be case-sensitive by default because the file system is normally case-sensitive; a Windows-based web server is not because it isn't.
