Paging Xeno86, paging Xeno86, this is a call for KernelEx!

If we satisfied those dependancies, I wonder whether we would make some progress with Firefox 3?

i know i'm not on here much at all.... but i was just thinking that....

KernelEx 3.3a was this -> <- close to running a Cairo proggy on my 98SE, but it failed to initialize scaled fonts. If KernelEx manages to run Cairo, all GTK+ programs should quickly follow, including Firefox 3. I don't think that day is far away.

Here is Firefox 3 working on Windows 98 SE. Just fonts are not working.

Does anybody have compiled Cairo Win32 program to test more closely?

Got it working... mostly :thumbup

Well, MoCo don't have one relaxed man-day to make FF3 run ok on older systems.

I think they deserve a good kick in the nuts and a good lecture about consequences of fanboyism.

You're absolutely right! The reason is that you've more talent and of course devotion to the Win9x family!

Fantastic effort, Tihiy!! :thumbup

Btw, how you achieve this: have you used KernelEx or in some other way?

Tihiy, one more thing: maybe that would be a good idea to demonstrate those screenshots to make Mozilla Foundation people ashamed. ;)

Better to let sleeping dogs lie IMO. There's some guys who really hate folks that don't "upgrade"/go along with the sytem etc. They could make things difficult...

Yes, I guess you're right. They could change something in the code.

So? We can just change it back. That's the power of CVS.
