Top Forums Web Development What is Your Favorite Web Browser? Post 302238164 by bakunin on Friday 19th of September 2008 06:21:55 AM
Old 09-19-2008
Hmm, my browser isn't even mentioned: Mozilla. (the old, classical, fullblown, Netscape-inherited browser suite, not the Firefox derivate). I use Firefox (1.x) occasionally, but usually Mozilla is it.

The reason is partly habit: i was "raised" with Netscape when what i knew as Internet started to transform to the world-wide-wait we all come to love. A more tangible reason is: i like Mozillas capability to type text into the address line, press <cursor down> and <ENTER> and it will do a search on these words with my favourite search engine. I also like the "window-oriented" modus operandi of Mozilla better than Firefoxes "tabs-oriented" way. This is just personal taste: i like several windows better than several tabs.

On top of that i use the other parts of the Mozilla browser suite (Mozilla Mail and Address Book - i detest IRC chatting and i write my HTML code in vi) on a common basis, so there is no waste in installing a complete suite instead of a standalone browser.

I dislike the memory leakage as everybody and am acquainted with (but still hate) having to restart the browser every few weeks anew.

For IE i have no purpose at all, not even when i have to work on Windows - see here.

NAME
lpweb - invokes the HP-UX Printer Management tool SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ ] [ ] DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Printer Management tool ( ) is used to configure the LP spooling sub-system. It allows the user to view and configure Printers and Print Requests. The tool also allows the user to save and restore spooler configuration. The HP-UX Printer Management tool provides both Web-based and terminal user interface. The Web-based interface is launched through the HP System Management Homepage. Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Printer Management tool. An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser running on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable. If a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only happen if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the same system as that referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is used. Note: By default, the HP-UX Printer Management tool ( ) invokes the Mozilla Web browser. If you want to support any other browser (Net- scape), set the BROWSER environment variable as shown below: The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following conditions are true: o The command is invoked with the option. o The environment variable is not set. The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are true: o The command is invoked with option. o The environment variable is set. o The command is available on the system. Options recognizes the following options: Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways. The option forces the client browser to be used or started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server and the Mozilla browser is not secure. Use this option only when you are sure the network traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and the host in the DISPLAY variable is secure. If a privileged user (root) executes the command with the option, a temporary login bypass key is generated. The bypass key enables the user to access the Web interface without having to provide login information again. You can also start the HP-UX Printer Management tool using one of the following methods: o Invoke o Invoke the HP-UX Printers and Plotters Configuration tool Web interface by typing the URL in the address bar of your browser, where hostname is the fully qualified name of the server. o Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and select the Printer Management tool from Configure -> HP-UX Configuration menu Online Help After the HP-UX Printers and Plotters Configuration tool is started, the online help provides details on how to use the tool.
