Re: All about:config Settings

Just a reminder,
always a good idea to make a backup of the user.js file in case of upset.

As for the arkenfox.js..i believe that this is what constitutes librewolf as this is the settings it basically uses.

Re: System Updates?

In my experience regular updates will or could break something..i think it is more important to keep your chosen browser updated rather than individual applications which if they are working correctly then why update them.

Re: Play Amiga games on Your Puppy

Launcher is not needed but is handy to configure your games with the correct ROMS etc..I create the config files for each individual game using the launcher and then i put the config folder on desktop and fire them up that way.

Re: Iron 'portable' browser - now at 108.0.5500.0 - 64-bit ONLY (with updater!)

I wish the ungoogled chromium dev did an ungoogled version of iron, because iron has always been the cleanest fastest experience for me. Google is a deal killer for me though. What's the difference between them technically.? I never saw the appeal of iron browser myself as it doesn't offer anything...

Re: Comparing many browsers speed

tests of this nature are always meaningless to many users.The tests were done on "other" machines and only give an indication and not a positive result.
Best way to test browsers is to install them on your machine and run them.

Morning,
I installed the portable seamonkey 32 in Bionic 32
It works fine, except one problem : I cannot open my email www.gmx.co.uk When I click on log in, nothing open

More than likely gmx is user agent sniffing and seamonkey is probably forbidden as being outdated.

The cpu usage is adequate but the temperature has shot up to 60 degrees with just the browser open.
