It's been mentioned before in other threads recently, have you looked at |
| 41 |
Palemoon? I have it installed here from a overlay. I haven't checked |
| 42 |
on it recently but if this new plugin thing with Firefox leaves some of |
| 43 |
my plugins unusable, I may be looking at some other options myself. I |
| 44 |
might add, Seamonkey is stepping on a nerve or two of mine as well. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I've been wondering about this plugin thing myself since I heard about |
| 47 |
it a few weeks ago. Sort of glad to see a discussion about it. Hoping |
| 48 |
to find out what others think this is going to end up looking like. |
