Well… will this be the start of another browser war. Using ff1.5.x myself. Clicked on the ‘Developers” link which returned

Error 69: The Microsoft Firefox developers page is not compatible with your existing browser.
Please download Microsoft Firefox 2007 here.

Clicking on the ‘here’ link I was led to a page asking me to choose my “windows” OS. I use a mac. It’s been some time since I came across a page which I could not was prohibited to view.

This took me back to the days of the war between NN and IE where webmasters used to use javascripts to prevent the opposing browser from viewing the sites.

The icing on the cake was in the about link

Microsoft offers the best implementation of its web standards. Period.

….I’m speechless

Re: MSFF...

Well, I’d defintely look into this in more detail. What Browser engine is this running there.
Gecko clone? How is it inside ?

Do you have to pay for that ?

I just don’t have time for this at the moment.
( I’ve got all the Browsers, that the majority of web users are using on my machines, so once again the question, without reading all these pages: What is that good for ?
Is this thought of a replacement for IE6 and IE7 and if so, how does this compare to MS standard A-grade Browsers, which would be the only ones, that I am interseted in. Why do I need to have this ?)

regards, marios

Re: MSFF...

Did you look at the system requirements?
Or at the Foundation?

Re: MSFF...

which means, I couldn’t run it anyway from my 32bit XP test Box (512mb ram).

To compensate for frequent memory leaks:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) – 873 MB
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition – 1680 MB

I see something about credit cards at the bottom. Unbelievable

It says something about Takeover Technology.

( Is it April already, and I haven’t noticed yet ?)
