Also, if you surf for porn, you really need to use this as the most nasty exploits are routinely found on these sites.
IE exploits and social engineering, sure. Firefox exploits? I don't think so.
You're really being paranoid if you use NoScript and TOR. All that's needed is a regularly updated web browser that isn't IE, and common sense (even though it's not that common in the realm of computers).
My understanding (and please tell me if I'm wrong) is the point of Firefox was to supply a WEB BROWSER. Back then when you downloaded it you also got an email program, news reader, wysiwyg website builder, etc.
This implies that at one point in time you did get all that with Firefox, when you're really talking about what is now SeaMonkey.
The version of Irfanview I use is so old that it doesn't write to the application folder at all on my system. It only registers itself in the registry for some reason.
That being said, I had the same thought when Paint.NET was suggested, and was really only replying to the suggestion, not bearing in mind the corporate setting of the other poster.
This reminds me of the situation with IE on Windows. A lot of people put a lot of effort into figuring out how to remove IE from Windows. Basically it's impossible to completely remove it.
I'm running an IE-free Windows 95 install thanks to ToastyTech.com. 98Lite can remove it from Windows 98. Vorck has instructions on how to remove IE from Windows 2000.
It is not impossible. Microsoft wants you to think it is, but they are lying.
Removing an application that you don't use is not something idiots do. It's only logical. Do you install Windows with every application it comes with? No? Why not? Right, because you don't use all of them!
Who the fuck cares if it's only 100MB (which is a lot for a single application, I might add, even Firefox isn't that big)? That's 100MB they could have used for something else that they do use!
a small, simple browser that just did one thing well
That that was the goal is a myth. These were the real goals of Firefox:
Beginning with the core Mozilla code, unnecessary UI was removed, existing UI were refined and new UI added with the goal of providing efficient (speedy, easy to use, useful) web access. The goal was, and is not to have more or less features than any other client (Mozilla included) but to have the right set of features to let people get their jobs done.
You forgot that MSIE got a lot of competition from Netscape back in the day, which made it improve a lot starting from IE3. And Netscape wasn't free, neither was it open-source.
It's great that we're getting an open for fonts. However, I'm worried that using this, in the future various websites will push users to view their website in their own cool font and be optimised for them. This could break the web's font-agnosticism.
It still has the Book of Mozilla (I think it's part of Gecko, as Firefox has it too), but about:kitchensink hasn't been included for a long time. You can install an extension to have that back, though! Here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/742

What the hell bit you to put an apostrophe there?

Big stars that fall in our seas usually create tsunamis that ravage the land.
Unix was designed as a multi-user, corporate operating system, not a home operating system.
The answer to that question is in the original post.
You do not use the apostrophe to pluralise.
I like the UI of the older versions better, and don't need the new features introduced in the newer versions.

Why the name of the protagonist of a bad and inconsistent anime?
You have not read the project goals, have you?
SeaMonkey is the descendant of Netscape.

Irfanview for life. It doesn't even need .NET.

Yeah, every country that has government-controlled health care is controlling their people.
...Wait, they aren't. Ever been abroad at all, or are you just spouting off what you read somewhere?
It's great that we're getting an open format for fonts. I hit the Reply button too quickly, there.

This is irrelevant, as Flash is a proprietary standard with only one implementation. Hence the two are pretty much equal.
How do you manage to hit that key combination "by accident"?

I don't think that will change much, as usually when you start up SeaMonkey, you're starting up only the browser component.
Themes have always been under the View menu. Do you mean that now they don't have a presence in the Preferences anymore?
