Firefox 1.0.x does indeed use Gecko 1.7.x and only switched to Gecko 1.8.x during the Firefox 1.0+ time, which actually got released as Firefox 1.5.x as opposed to 1.1.x in the old roadmap. Firefox 2.0.x (the "old" 1.5.x) will also be Gecko 1.8.x based, though Firefox 3.0.x (the "old" 2.0.x) will be based on Gecko 1.9.x and will have the new Cairo rendering engine enabled allowing really cool things with SVG, Canvas, opacity and the like. :D Whoops… factual correction.

MacOS 9 is so old it doesn't even have Firefox! :( With luck you'll get your new (Intel?) Mac soon and you can install to your hearts desire shiny new browsers! ;) Tjaard: According to the K-Melon website, their curent releases are based on the Gecko 1.7.x branch. Firefox, if memory serves, has always been from the Gecko 1.8.x branch... Firebird would have been the last releases based on the Gecko 1.7.x branch. As for münchen.de, it works fine for me here in Firefox 1.5+ and IE7B2PR... standard Windows network tools won't work they don't do the punycode conversion internally yet.

Since I use various Gecko-based browsers depending on the machine I'm working on ;) . Such as K-Meleon on my brother's pc so that I can wipe all my traces without anything happening to his Firefox cookies... I'm wondering which other browser support these TLDs by the way... when I surf to münchen.de in K-Meleon/Firefox I'm being redirected while IE tells me the host does not exist. Strangely enough, when I try to ping münchen.de from the Windows command shell, it tells me the host could not be resolved. ...now I'm really curious what magical trick Gecko does to make things work... (I know that .de is not icelandic, but methinks that the non-ascii TLD idea is the same nevertheless ;) .)

I still run antique and buggy Mozilla 1.2.1 on my ancient MacOS 9.5....feels like way back in 1996. *sigh* I wish I COULD update, I really want to!!
