Firefox 9.0 Final released, much much faster than outdated and obsolete Firefox 3.6 and K-Meleon.[/quote]

Type Inference,

One could infer you are a Firefox fanboy, so just to enlighten you on the virtues of K-Meleon vs Firefox... think KKO's scripting language, as in roll your own extensions, if you know how or even if you don't, someone here will usually write one for you in short order. Think no XUL software emulation, as in one ring to rule all the operating systems and the subsequent overhead that entails.

K-Meleon is a Mom and Pop browser* and from time to time, the one or two developers who run it run into problems, like the killing off of embed by Mozilla Corp., a problem not just for K-Meleon, but for other operating system specific Gecko offshoots that use APIs from their particular OS (think Camino and offshots of Galeon).

Will K-Meleon survive this? No way to be sure, but if history is any guide (look at the KM about FAQ), you will see that it has always had a couple of developers and it has been handed off from one to the other several times in the past.... successfully.

FYI and FWIW.
