Firefox

Hi,
    Does anyone know how K-Meleon saves files. Like are the image files all dumped in the same directory like Opera ::) or is it put in separate folders like IE or Mozilla FireFox?

Do any one here noticed that if you use Opera, you browse: More Fast, Secure, Friendly, and easier. Firefox and K-meleon Are GOOD, but the Objective now is dump IE; So let`s use any browser (exepting IE).  Do anyone remembers when Netscape and ALL pages can be only seen with it? Now is happening the same so protest!! :U :clap: :dance: :naughty: :dance: :naughty: :dazzled:

Maybe things have changed but when I used to use Netscape I didn't like it because when you wanted to look at the source contents of a document it showed it in it's own dialog box and you couldn't make changes to it and then save it as you are able to do with IE because it displays the source in Notepad.

Here you can find some optimized versions of Firefox: http://www.moox.ws/tech/mozilla/  :clap:

The original is compiled in VC++ 6.0, and at least PEiD gives information that it is an debug build. ::)

I'm still uing IE... please don't hang me for stating this :green

A lot of people say they use firefox for security or something....I just use it because I can't live with the tabbed browsing  :cheekygreen:

[thomasantony]

I am all for tabbed browsing :U

If the browser doesn't support tabbed browsing, then I refuse to work with it.

Don't like it? Sue me.

 K-Meleon RULES!!! awesome  ... I love it!! :green

Dislike IE mainly because of the (growing) use of active-x elements.  :tdown Otherwise it is a good browser.

I've been using firefox, and quite like it. As for security, it is good for the client but not always so nice for the website's security.

Just downloaded K-meleon and in fact posting this using that browser. Pretty neat. Thanks for the link!

Interesting that the logo/name is a Chameleon, which is slow as. Perhaps the lightning speed tongue-strike is what inspired the name.   :bg

One very practical reason to use mozilla based browsers is that they've much better support for new emerging standards.

I'm building my new site to use MathML and CSS and am going to pains to try and ensure it'll work with IE which doesn't support MathML without a plugin, and has a buggy CSS implementation :'( .

buggy CSS implementation

And hardly any CSS2 implementation at all.  Even in the upcoming IE7.

Sorry, that i reply to old thread but i think they made mistake for making FF open source.
Because crackers/hackers can now just examine whole source, find some serious "bugs" there and a little bit later FF will be like IE.

Arguably that is one of the things that makes it stronger: the source can be inspected by anyone, security holes discovered, and then promptly fixed by the dev team.

In general, a browser is not insecure because it is made by MS, it is insecure because it receives data and has to trust it, this breaks one of the cardinal rules of secure computing which is "never trust user input". For those who are inclined to argue this, "input" (html) from a server counts as user input because that html could be coming from *anywhere*, the browser just has to trust it and render/execute it.

I agree that having source code available is more likely to lead to improved security. If the application is well liked interest will develop and people will be inclined to use it and do what they can to make it better and more secure.

K-Melion rules!

About the games not working, it has nothing to do with Firefox, K-Melion, Netscape or Opera.  It is because Sun is refusing to allow obfuscated code any longer.  This method was being used by developers to protect their sources and involved the use of some weaknesses in the java coding engine.  Well, the weaknesses are fixed so now, since IE uses its own JRE it is the only browser that supports this type of code.  An interesting test is to go to the Sun website and install the latest JRE.  If you do this, all of a sudden IE wont run the games, either!
