I haven't tested it lately, but for awhile Blogger thought I was a spammer and was deleting every comment I made on other people's blogs. I think they even deleted my comment on my own blog once.<br /><br />As for the Splashup animation, if it requires a plug-in, then TenFourFox won't display it. The only potential solution I can think of is to convert it somehow to an html5 animation.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700474277267739107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749559194818088720.post-42344375420996534022015-04-03T01:31:36.832-07:002015-04-03T01:31:36.832-07:00what? my comment got eaten? i was asking if there...what? my comment got eaten? i was asking if there was any hope for me to use a web based java/flash hybrid -- which i can with Safari -- with TenFourFox instead.

Since it uses different folders and save areas than TenFourFox/Camino/Firefox/Tor, it should be somewhat safer - as long as the user ONLY uses it for flash content (no passwords, etc). <br /><br />For those interested in this, I have also made an applescript super-cookie cleaner for WebKit and completely wipes all flash cookies/super-cookies out on browser-quit - this coupled with locking the 'Safari' folder, provides a very high-level of security against spywear and such (effectively disables disc caching). Anyone who would like to set this up on their PPC mac can find my email in the Applescript code-comments of PPC Media Center (link above) and I will happy help you to get it going.<br /><br />Adam A.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06538158601457371259noreply@blogger.com
