It's been mentioned before in other threads recently, have you looked at Palemoon? I have it installed here from a overlay. I haven't checked on it recently but if this new plugin thing with Firefox leaves some of my plugins unusable, I may be looking at some other options myself. I might add, Seamonkey is stepping on a nerve or two of mine as well. I've been wondering about this plugin thing myself since I heard about it a few weeks ago. Sort of glad to see a discussion about it. Hoping to find out what others think this is going to end up looking like. Dale :-) :-)
