Browser choice in live images

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I see that the F23 Xfce live image still includes only Midori as the
internet browser, similar to the F22 image.

With F22 I had the unpleasant surprise that, using the Xfce live image,
Midori was for some reason not able to sign in (web form) on a store's
public wifi network, because of some issue when redirecting to a HTTPS
page with an own-signed certificate or so (this was in the Media Markt,
if you want to know...).

As I wanted to test a laptop for Linux compatibility booting from USB
and at that point I didn't have an alternative network connection,
this was a real showstopper.  As I saw the wifi networks listed, I took
the risk to consider the laptop (i.e. the wifi adapter) working, and
this happened to be ok, but I would suggest to consider including
Firefox as (another) browser, just in case the live image has to be
used for some special (rescue/testing) purposes  and you need a more
versatile browser than Midori.

PS
I didn't add a bug report as I was not able to reproduce the problem
outside the store and I couldn't describe the problem in enough details
anymore.
