Sad but true. However, we can at least be sure that nobody can take away the existing Firefox/Xulrunner code base. That's the glory of freedom-respecting software. Forking it is easy. Maintaining it and keeping feature-parity is another matter, of course. > This is what a Mozilla developer said in response to a broken -app > flag (which conkeror requires to run) in FF 48 nightly: "This bug isn't > high on the official Mozilla priority list.

Thankfully, it seems they have found the bug, and more importantly, they seem to have willingly put in the required effort. Happily, they had the original author of the problematic code on hand. The (very simple) fix is in review. Apparently the defect was always there (for at least 5 years), but by luck never bit anyone before. > [fn:1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1271574 Could lispkit be the next best thing? This might meet the OP's no-JavaScript requirement at least -- and even better, it's Lisp too -- but it's WebKit-based (Safari's innards, rather than Firefox's) and also keyboard-oriented. The Lisp is Common Lisp, not Emacs Lisp, which is a Good Thing to my way of thinking but does mean there are a few gotchas to watch out for coming from an Elisp background. https://github.com/AeroNotix/lispkit -- Phil Hudson http://hudson-it.ddns.net @UWascalWabbit PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63
