I just had to browse to a printer... and with https-use-strict at a server higher up, firefox *would* *not* let me get there. I don't see the circa-2012 printer offering https.
Luckily, there was konqueror, which *did* let me go to http://<printer>
I just *adore* SmartSoftware that Won't Let You Endanger Yourself.... Reminds me of Jack Williamson's old novel, The Humanoids. (You aren't allowed to use that sharp knife, you might cut yourself. Or drive yourself. Or....)
Mark, I fully agree with you... I wish we all were venting out this onto Mozilla Foundation directorate.
<rant> I for one am looking for decent replacement for firefox for at least 5 years (no, do not suggest chrome, or google anything, please), still without success. The bizarre with Firefox started shortly after a guy I know (as undergraduate student in our Department) became production director of Mozilla Foundation. Not that I'm saying he is to blame, but what I know about him lies exactly in what I observe happening with firefox (to add to what you mentioned: rushing "release" after "release" without decent debugging...). To add to that, how do you like the behavior of browsers: doing search on what you put into location bar, instead of jut going directly to that location? Helps filling search providers databases, especially if they fed you unexpiring cookie. But not all of search engines do that crap, duckduckgo doesn't as far as I know. </rant>
Anyway, question for everybody: does anybody know decent browser to replace Firefox? (Please, do not offer google chrome, thank you again). I use midori for quite some time, I didn't fully switch over to midori from Firefox, however. I didn't get alone with konqueror somehow (didn't spent much time with it though), tried vivaldi browser and didn't like it (not to mention: closed source...)
