Mozilla 1.4 QNX Package Available

Submitted by newsagent on

Adrian Mardare just wrote that he created a mozilla 1.4 package for Photon and made it available in the online 3rd Party Repository for QNX Neutrino v6.2.1.

Changes specific to the qnx/photon platform:

  • the right click menus ( context menus ) in the Mail&News client work now.
  • not related to the above: the menus now behave like regular photon menus -they have a big region underneath to collect mouse events etc.
  • if you don't like the antialiased, small fonts that are used in the menus, messages etc, you can now configure them. They are read now from a configuration file ( /usr/share/mozilla/system_fonts ). See the /usr/share/mozilla/system_fonts.README for the format of the file.
  • changes to improve the overall rendering speed.
  • packaging related: it now disables the old versions of mozilla rather than uninstalling them.
  • packaging related: there is an icon bound into the executable for the task bar.

This is the last "xpfe/netscape style" based browser. Starting with the 1.5 version, mozilla will consist of two separate applications: a "smaller,

faster and better" browser and a companion mail program. For more
