Two Points or more:
If you are useing Mozilla v.1.7+, you very well may have problems with GoDaddy's curerent Web Based Email v.4.3 when run in -Advanced- mode.

The problem: The Move & Apply drop down tabs may freeze and fail to activate.

The temporary FIX is to switch, and use their Mail Server's -Light Version- .
The hotspot to switch is in the upper Right Corner while reading your mail.

With the -Light Version- you re-gain control of the two -frozen- drop down menues, but the downside is that you loose the Right-Click- selection option for white-listing, black-listing, etc. speed keying.

According to GoDaddy Service Dept. the problem is in a revised-update (tinkering) they did a few weeks back with their v.4.3 that now has crippled the use of Mozilla v.1.7+ to work in their -Advanced- Mail Mode.

Also, interestingly, they, an On-The-Phone Service Tec and a GoDaddy Tec Suppervisor, claims their Mail v.4.3 was only programed to work up to Mozilla 1.5 reliably...and THEY think that v1.5 is Mozillas LAST version. Hmm!
I was challenged when I told them I had been using Mozilla v.1.7.11 for months, and that the Advanced drop-down menues had worked flawlessly on all my machines, untill they -tweeked- their mail server.

Anyway, the REAL -last- Mozilla is v.1.7.13 and it is availabe for download at www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x, or use a Google search.

LAST THOUGHTS:
My 3 computers have now been switched over to SeaMonkey (Brine Shrimp) Suite, to replace my old Mozilla v.1.7.11 Swites, and that is the definate way to go.
SeaMonkey Suite is a dead ringer for Mozilla Swite but loads faster and seems to use FireFox plug-ins with no problem.

Hint: If installing SeaMonkey and you have the old Mozilla AutoZoom plug-in...Uninstall the plug-in from your Profiles, prior to the new SeaMonkey installation to avoid error messages. The Zoom (Ctrl-+) function is native to SeaMonkey anyway.
Like I mentioned, all my old plug-ins seem to work well in SeaMonkey.
I'm very happly with this new SeaMonkey v. 1.0.2 Brouser-Mail-Chat Upgrade, and quite pleased with the encouragement to make-the-switch and try it, by some great quys on a prior post I made requesting help in this regard.
Thanks again guys!
