Have you looked at SeaMonkey lately (I haven't - I have a really old version that I've been afraid to update). It may have features that have been cut out of the newer programs.
As for Firefox - it's like the guys running it are trying their best to kill it. At least Microsoft is pursuing a clear agenda, even if I don't like it as a consumer (they do seem to be delivering for their stockholders).
.....”As for Firefox - it’s like the guys running it are trying their best to kill it”.....
Opera and Firefox are the only ones I can find usable on Vista....lots of tweeking otherwise....but you’re right...does look like they’re commiting suicide...harder and harder to use.
I also have an older version of Seamonkey. I tried to upgrade it a couple of weeks ago, and it would not upgrade. I have had similar problems with other older FF-based browsers.
I have also run into similar problems with the Chrome-based, such as Iron and Slimbrowser.
It looks like any future upgrades for Win7 browsers are coming to an end. I have also noticed my FF-ESR version is getting very sluggish. I noticed similar sluggishness with XP before I went to Win7.
