The penguin in the corner spins too

Thats a nice theme Stoo, wheres it located at plz. I like the fact that they've added a warning box when you close windows down which contain more than one tab to Somthing i always forgot to check with v0.8.

Ick, 0.9 still no better than 0.8 for proxies.

If I enable the proxy server option to go via Proxomitron on the loopback address then I can access external sites no problem, but every request for an internal site gets sent to Google for some weird reason!
I can add an exception and it will then talk to it, but it doesn't take wildcards, to I would have to enter every website individually.

Also, no NTLM support means we can't use our MIMESweeper for Web proxy (I thought the later versions of Mozilla were supposed to support this?).

Sticking with MyIE2, that just works out of the box.

But seeing as MYIE2 is based on the IE core, you won't get me touching it with a bargepole

No its not, you can get a fully fledged OS in 220k (yes...) so how can 4.9 mb be good for just a browser... you've been conditioned to think sloppy programming is OK, still its better than IE and Netscapes offering so I can't complain too much

Yes, because command line OS systems are the way forward....

4.9Mb is an effective piece of programming when you consider that it gives you the browser, all the associated graphics, a method of writing your own applications for the browser and the XUL application framework. I most certainly have not been conditioned to think that sloppy programming is okay given that I have been writing code for over 10 years and designing systems for around 5.
