The Shared Library Manager extension is needed on PowerPC processor-based computers, and when this extension is turned off, Netscape Navigator v3.0 freezes after it attempts to access a URL (uniform resource locator). Occasionally, Netscape will load a URL or two and freeze within the next minute or so.
Also, the description in Extensions Manager control panel, in the Item Information section, of the Shared Library Manager is not correct. This description incorrectly states, "... Needed if your computer is using Open Transport and has a 68020, 68030, or 68040 processor."
The two extensions, Shared Library Manager PPC and Shared Library Manager, are both needed for a PowerPC processor-based Mac OS computer.
