Using it with Fat-free 3.01 + yeahwm

- changed GUI to use minimal screen space
- more compact menu, toolbar, address bar, search bar and bookmarks.. in 1 row

looks much like dillo - which is neat!

keep up the good work

Glad you like it! It's my everyday browser, and every time I have to use another, I'm like "Oh man!".... Where's the shortcuts? Why so little screen space? Where this/that feature? Hope it's stable for you as it is for me!

Hi sc0ttman,
is there an sfs version of firedog that can work in Lighthouse Puppy 5.03 ? I have a frugall install of Lighthouse Puppy.
thanks
Michel

Il est temps que je me réveille. I am very old fashioned with my Firedog. Where is the link to get the version 3.6.12 ?
Merci Mr Scootman.

.... choose the one you want, and then RIGHT CLICK and choose "SAVE AS"

I have Firedog on a couple machines and have been very satisfied... great work to Scott as always...

I wonder if there was one thing we could get...

We already have a Flash 9 that spoofs 10... now that we're at Flash 11, last gig for Linux, could we get a Flash 10 pet that spoofs 11?

The reason I ask is that a few sites want 11, but actually, the 10 pet works really well in Firedog, but in some of the older machines, (amd cpu's I think) the latest 11 doesn't work. If we had a Flash 10 that spoofed 11, the performance would be fine and some significant sites like Facebook would stop asking for the Flash upgrade.

Asking because I have a machine with Akita/Firedog that would be perfect if there was a Flash 10 that spoofed 11.

Not trying to make special requests... I think this would be super useful to a lot of Puppy users, and would be great for Firedog.

Download Helper is one way : http://www.downloadhelper.net/

Tested it today by downloading a flv file from youtube on dialup and it played perfectly in VLC with no conversion necessary. Sure there are other ways to do it but since I have heard people have gone so far as to switch Distros just for this minor problem, the youtube downloader no longer working , I though it was worth posting,

FireDog works!

If anyone finds a fix for the included downloader please let me know, it does make Puppy seem easier to people unfamiliar with real operating systems. It might be a good idea to preload Download Helper or a similar app in Firedog,

I don't know where this rumour about Puppy 4 series has come from it is certainly not true as I have run Firedog and seamonkey - latest in 4.12 and can certainly use a youtube downloader such as seamonkey youtube downloader or the one that comes woth firedog all I had to was update my plugins. So again this rumour - which is all it is - is NOT true. In fact with updates - both browsers running in 3.01 - so yeah. Firedog is very good by the way.

Tnx sc0ttman
i wonder where i found this icons and how make work the copy.com site, appear all blank

thank you again,
