Version information
- This browser is based on the source code of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13.
- The binary distribution of the MutualTestFox does not use jemalloc library which is introduced in the original Firefox. This may cause different behaviors.
- The software implements a fundamental part of the draft-07 revision of the protocol.
Installation issues
- This implementation is intended to work independently from the original FireFox: the profiles and other data is stored separately. However, if any problems are caused, please try to fix by yourself, e.g., by re-install the FireFox.
- The installer associates .htm files with this browser, which may cause the icon changes and other side-effects. If needed, please update the associations.
- This implementation has a different default setting for search engines. Please reset it as you like, if needed.
Operational issues
- This browser does not have automatic updates: please check for updates manually and periodically.
- Add-ons which are designed for Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 should work.
