Re: [LINUX_Newbies] The Debian Choice...//Iceweasel

 

An old Linux pro called Thad, put Firefox 16 on all his computers, because it was last without a backdoor of some kind, but I don't know the details and he's not replying to Yahoo mail lists that much these days because of the Neo breaking so much. Maybe others here know what I'm referring to...

Good morning

a friend of mine is using win and netscape.

He says:

the browser is fast and safe
because netscape cannot understand the modern dirt.

question:

is it possibel to use an old browser
in Linux?

regards

sophie
