Timberwolf beta 4 is released. This time function bookmarks and import bookmarks. I use firefox in linux environment and some times in windows environment, but the final amiga Timberwolf is the fastest I've ever seen.

We don't have "FireFox" on the Amiga.. We have "TimberWolf"..

I think it has something to do with legal rights to the use of the name.
Since this is a port to a different platform, and the code is not directly
under the control of the Mozilla foundation.. something like that anyway.

Lyle is correct and nobody is allowed to use the trademarked name. Edited appropriately.

Timberwolf hangs unpredictably, though usually when I play with the scroll bar.
Most of the time if I wait 1 minute it will spring back to life. When it hangs I am unable to launch anything on the docky. I can still move the windows around.

Only the timberwolf causes this. I use iBrowse and amiFtp for my internet activities.

Now then. When Timberwolf 1st came out I don't remember this happening. There is a chance that my playing around with my X1000 caused this. I don't think it involves the router because my wife's iBook has no problem, even when my activity is hung.

I was hoping it was Timberwolf and expected this new version, being a reinstall, would correct the operation. Alas, no.

The hang is so offputing that I continue to use iBrowse whenever possible.

Any suggestions short of reinstalling the OS completely?

Yes I know that. It's the same with Isweasel in debian.
My post was not an attempt to put doubt about it but to express that I was impressed over the speed of in TimberWolf. What I think is more interesting is that I can synkronicere my firefox account with both Isweasel and Timber Wolf.
However, TimberWolf is still a problem with getting it to work

Why not just use MUI-OWB? I don't see any downsides over iBrowse, only upsides...

That was last July. It is now the middle of November. Have we abandoned Timberwolf on the X1000 because of this problem?

Abandoned? I don't think so?

As it is, I use Timberwolf on a daily basis.

*sighs* Why the addition of "on the X1000" when no version came out at all? It seems to me to be a justification to post this in a support forum for the X1000.

No, Timberwolf has not been abandoned, I have already pointed out elsewhere why there hasn't been any development.

This topic is not supposed to be discussed here. www.amigans.net has a dedicated Timberwolf forum, please ask your questions there.

End of line.
