slowday444 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Now I'm using FF1.0.7, should I install this or is this something all together different? http://www.freewarefiles.com/program_5_51_7277.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted October 27, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2005 Its a beta release which means its not 100% bug free. I would stay away mainly because most of the extensions/themes will not work with it. If you want to try it go ahead but make a back up of your profile first.

Grongo Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Or else you can try K-Meleon, if you'd like something faster and lighter. K-Meleon works, for example, on Windows98 systems very well. It is a cousin to Firefox, also based on the Gecko Runtime Engine (1.7.12). K-Meleon is for Windows ONLY. Any Windows, but it must be Windows. Because it is not cross-platform, it carries far less weight than Firefox. K-M comes up very basic-looking at first, and it has no extensions. That might scare you off. The browser does no advertising, and has no hype. Most of its users are also very familiar with Firefox and Opera. They are pretty well non-competitive people, so they are open to discussing the merits of other browsers with you. Once you get used to K-Meleon's tweaks, you can actually customize it and tweak it much more than you can Firefox. But it is not a competitor. It is a different creature altogether. If you like the extensions concept, you might not like K-Meleon. K-M is supported by one of the most friendly, helpful, and mature forums on the Internet. You can go to the forum and you'll see a green sidebar. There you can download the official version, using GRE 1.7.5, from January. Then you update it by inserting an automatic update file to 1.7.12. Does that sound like fun? Then you'll love it. Does it sound nasty? Then stay with Firefox. K-Meleon also has experimental versions using GRE 1.8x and 1.9x. You get everything via the forum. http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/list.php?f=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
