Firefox as text browser.

[Luigi Donatello Asero]

Thousands of us are using it. Just Do It.

All of us are wondering why you bother to come here for advice, because
you never take it.

That is false.

What is unsigned?

Generally means unsigned driver in relation to Win XP. Luigi is right to
be cautious because software with unsigned drivers can really screw up XP
bad enough to make a reinstall necessary. However, in this case where
thousands of people have installed and use the product, on a Mozilla
platform as well, his concern is unfounded.

 

[Jonathan N. Little]

That is false.

Proof?

 

[Luigi Donatello Asero]

Proof?

There are several tips which I have implemented on my website and some
of them have come from alt.html
The list would be long.
But obviously there are other things which I disagreed on.

It is peculiar that one on the one hand agrees on some standards and on the
other hand Firefox hosts unsigned drivers...

Through the Looking Glass!
This is not even _vaguely_ responsive to the demand for proof.

A security risk, either real or perceived, is not the same thing as a
standard.

My Slacking Bob, Luigi, you're having one hell of a night.

standard.

My assumption was that there are standards to avoid security risks or to
minimize them, one of these being that
drivers should be signed.

Well, that is certainly not the first time that I have worked during the day
and in the night...

The irony here is your are posting with

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1409

and you are worried about the security risk with an unsigned extension
of Firefox.

Does Opera do more than Firefox in this context?

Have you ever been to Tasmania?

When you click on "install now" on this page
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/60/
you open a window.
In this window you get a message
that Web developer 1.0.2
is unsigned

Web developer is free, I guews signing process requires some amount of
money - author choose not to spend it, and I don't blame him.

Try it or forger about it.

Meanwhile, what's the matter with using lynx as a...well, as a text
browser?

Not really. The irony is that Microsoft Windows hosts such drivers which
are inimical to it. I find it really pathetic that an old driver can
debilitate the current main Windows OS at least as bad as a virus.

Different people often worry about different things.

I have not.
Is it beautiful?

Opera has already
"Emulate text browser" and
"Accessibility layout"
in user mode

It is possible that he did not want to spend much money.

Indeed! Now there is a fact!

 

[dorayme]

I have not.

It is tense at the moment, 2 miners are trapped a km underground
