Cyberfox Anyone?

I don't know what "auto-raise" is. Would you describe it?

This might be described as having the window one has a pointing-device pointer over coming to the front / top automatically. I think it's likely to get used where the settings are such that focus-follows-mouse (so no clicking necessary for focus to change).

For those who like Firefox forks on Linux, there's a native Pale Moon around. :)

He he. I haven't gotten in to run under NixOS yet -- hopefully before too long though :)

Ok. I remember when I first used XWindows that used to drive me nuts. Focus change on hover and single click launch. I'll be glad when I can get a workbench with a few machines on it. There seems to be a plethora of specialized Linux distros now. It's a good time to jump back in the pool. :)

Not to jump the gun, but on my second day I have to say I like it. It seems to run as smooth as FF 27.0 Portable. My AddOns all seem to work.
Edit: The only annoyance so far.. no favicons.
Edit2: This favicon reloader works with it:

+1! Good recommendation! It's my default choice when I need a full-featured browser running under Linux. Works like a charm for me with Debian-based distros. YMMV. 8)

@M - I definitely want to try that portable version of Cyberfox under Windows. I keep hoping I can eventually cram and run all the Windows things I need off a USB key for those increasingly infrequent occasions when I need to be in Windows. If all goes well, my old Windows PC will eventually be relegated to serving as a gaming platform. :)
