Goodbye Again

Post by reubensr » Mon Jan 10, 2011 9:56 pm

This is the second or third time in the past few years I have tried Orca as a replacement for Firefox. Each time, including now, I have been disappointed and have returned to Firefox. About the only feature Orca has which FF lacks is cascading windows. By contrast, too many features are missing, and too many essential FF add-ons don't work in Orca.

I will return at some future time to give it another chance, especially if, as I fear, FF4 turns out worse than FF3. But for now its goodbye again.

Orca has not been updated for a number of years now as Anderson plans to integrate it with Avant in the future, hopefully before The Endtime on Dec. 21, 2012. :twisted: :lol:
