OK, I recently ugraded to the current ESR release of Firefox for CentOS

What alternitives are there?  (Chrome and Chromium are not possible with
CentOS, and Chrome and Chromium are actually worse).

What's the problems? I just upgraded last week, and the STUPID MORONS

My observation is: the bizarre at Mozilla Foundation started [quite a while ago] when one of the people who was here as a student (and I knew him personally) came to them as a production director. Then they started piling up extra "features", rushing new "releases", none of which does live up to the name "release", they are not debugged enough... just take a look how often security update for firefox or thunderbird are released.

Since then I am looking for the replacement for firefox, and I still can not find one. Midory though good enough, and is my second choice on my FreeBSD workstation, still can not replace firefox for me. Don't get me started about chrome, chromium and friends... though I have to use chromium for specific purpose: to have browser that can pretend to be on smarthone. Palemoon is just a rebuild of Firefox. Tor browser, though it is rebuilt of firefox as well, is my choice when I prefer to go places I don't want my network provider put into their database associated with my name. I'm sure many of us do similar things in a course of out job duties.

Vivaldy almost worked out as firefox replacement on MS Windows systems for me, but later I changed my mind.

I had really short, like touch and go, experience with opera. And I'm not mentioning Safari which is my second choice (after firefox) on macintosh. (Well, safari, as many other things on macintosh you sometimes need to trick into doing what you actually want it to do).


I guess, we all (old guys) still keep our warm feelings to Netscape Navigator.

made
the arrows in the scrollbars go away, had to search and find a gtk config
file I needed to create.

A month or so ago, they upgraded, and I had to find out that I had to edit
about:config to change the booleans on signature to false.
