About Waterfox
How and why Waterfox is here…
Waterfox was started back in March 2011 by Alex Kontos, a then 16 year old student. He had a fascination for the web and wanted to help expand on the ideals of what Mozilla had for a free and open web. And so he made Waterfox, a 64-Bit browser based on Mozilla's free and open source platform.
Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla platform. Made specifically for 64-Bit systems, Waterfox has one thing in mind: speed.

What makes Waterfox so fast? It's built with Intel's C++ compiler. One of the most powerful compilers out there. This enables us to make the fastest possible web browser for all the code changes we make. This potent combination makes for an unparalleled browsing experience.

I have the same problem with this as I have with the other browsers . The flash player files will not load enough for me to log in to WGT . I just spent an hour trying to set up this waterfox . No such luck .

It turns out after further investigation . I needed the NPAPI version of flash player . I now am testing out this waterfox . Very smooth and fast in WGT . We will see about the other features .

Been using it all day . Seems as smooth and fast as Maxthon maybe even better . Not sure yet . No white screens or disconnects yet .
The only issue so far is the damn right click menu . As it is the same nuisance as I E . Pops up , Adobe site pops up . menu gets stuck in the middle of screen , try to click it off and you start the meter and it swings and the ball goes a foot . In Maxthon one is able to disable the right click menu in the mouse gestures in settings . Don't know if I can handle the right click menu .

Very good Paul. That ( NPAPI ) sounds right AND I'm proud of you Paul being open minded and trying different, but valid, configurations. Thats encouraging data. We can take care of right click in the registry. or i have application that will take care of it if you prefer. I'll post within 2 hours. Gotta run.
Keep On, Keeping On..

Of course I still need the right click drop down menu for everything else . I copy and paste like crazy . I don't know how it was able to be disabled only during WGT game play but in Maxthon that's what happened .
