<pre class="k9mail">I have become increasingly annoyed with Mozilla's stance on what<br />browsers should and should not do for their users. I understand their<br />points but I don't want MY browser forcing my plugins to be signed (I<br />have several plugins I prefer to build from source). I don't want MY<br />browser rejected bad SSL if it's SHA-1 and I don't want MY browser<br />preventing me from running things like Java when it's not up to date. I<br />miss the days when my browser did what I told it to do and didn't try to<br />protect me from the bad out there </s>. Sometimes I just want my browser to<br />expect me to know that I've got things configured a certain way and that<br />I want them to work like that rather than assuming certain things are<br />misconfigurations. An example of this is a KVM switch we have at the office<br />that requires a terribly old version of Java to use the web console and<br />uses an old SHA-1 certificate. I have a Firefox
installation specifically<br />configured to use this page which has the self signed certificate trusted<br />and the right version of Java. But I can't use it anymore because the<br />certificate is SHA-1 and Firefox won't run the insecure version of Java.<br /><br />There have got to be some alternative builds of Firefox out there<br />created by people in similar situations. If not, then are there other<br />browser options out there which will "just work" (tm) like the Firefox<br />of old?<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
