[ros-dev] Proposal for FF support drop

[Andrew Faulds]

Hi Pierre,

Why not just drop support for FF entirely from rapps? I'd say better
no browser than a terribly outdated one.

If users want FF they can do this:
C:\ReactOS> ftp
ftp> open ftp.mozilla.org
ftp> cd pub/firefox/releases/8.0/win32/en-GB
ftp> get Firefox Setup 8.0.exe

;)
