It surprises me that work is still going on on a supposedly vulnerable platform: 1.9.1.x. Is B2dot4 safe for daily use? Is it just a development version leading to a more solid and reassuring future? Is it suitable for normal use without courting disaster?

I put together beta 2.4 version.  I picked that one over the KM 1.7 because the history worked.  It has slightly newer version Gecko engine than the original KM 1.6 beta version.  I am not a coder.  I just put together pieces which were made available to me by others.  The privacy DLL was recompiled and works better than the original.  I was told the actual code did not change.

You are right that the engine is well past its end of cycle time.  Mozilla does not any longer produce a Microsoft Foundation Class version of their Gecko engine.  Unless we can find a coder who can make a MFC version of a current Gecko engine, I do not see any way forward.

I have not been plagued with malware using Beta 2.4, but that may be more a function of how I surf the net than the browser in use.  I do use Policy Manager and my default is Javascript off.  I find, more and more, that I have to send certain pages to IE now because the site is using HTML 5 code.[/quote]
