Mozilla Firefox
bug #57342 was
the first bug I encountered after I had completed my switch from
Galeon (which got
infected by GNOME2-itis, such that you could not change
basic browser settings without gnome-control-panel).
It’s still a bug, but I of course understand the Firefox
developer’s decision that a user’s request to be able to view
simple text files inline (\) is a low priority
improvement. I won’t allow myself to make a comment about the
Firefox code quality that in six years, noone has come up with a
working patch for this massive challenge. Do they have to switch
their browser into protected memory mode and load a DOS emulator to
be able to handle plain text?
Fortunately, I have since found this extension. Now my life is really much simpler.
