No, its not Firefox, but its an alternative browser, and after a long fight with cancer, he has passed away

If Opera was free I'd use it instead of firefox... it has a nifty "reload every X seconds" feature, and if you right click you can enable/disable javascript, java, etc., on the fly.

RIP.

It's been free - and ad-free - since '05.

Opera is free, t doesn't have the ad anymore.
Writing this with opera now, and RIP....

Really? Cool! I've wanted to go back ever since I used Opera for a bit three years ago and had to ditch it for firefox!

Damn if this guy hadn't died I wouldn't have figured that out

. He'd probably be happy that I switched.

You mean just like I can do with the Web Developer extension
