Hi Martin. The only alternative to Firefox is the QNX WebKit port which
was released with 6.4.1 and 6.5.0. It is quite different and may pose
new challenges. Are you currently using the embeddable mozserver or the
full Bon Echo (with menus, etc)? WebKit is a lot more like mozserver in
that your own front end needs to be written.

You are at the latest version of QNX firefox. It is no longer under
development.

If there is no core file it usually means the program is calling exit().
Are there any error messages or return code that you can see? Probably
the best way to figure out what's happening is to have someone here at
QNX reproduce the problem in the debugger. If you can submit a problem
report with a small sample web page that reproduces the problem that
would help.

Regards,
Max

I hope this is the appropriate place to post this. If not, please
suggest an alternative.

We use Firefox (Bon Echo 2.0.0.20) running on QNX 6.4.1 as the human
interface for our product. We've tried QNX 6.5.0 with no improvement.
The web server is hosted on another machine, and is based on Apache
Tomcat. The pages use javascript extensively.

Firefox occasionally (randomly) responds to a click on a page by
abruptly terminating. Dumper is running, but no core file is created. A
Windows version of Firefox (3.6.12) does not experience this problem,
nor does IE on Windows.

Questions:
* Is there an alternative to Firefox that I can use?
* Is there a later version of Firefox available for QNX?
* Is there a way to determine the cause of the termination?

TIA,
Marty
