Browser issues solved, for now. Cyberfox to the rescue, the Mozilla browser capable of displaying text.
Goodbye, Waterfox Sadly, I gave up on Waterfox today after a very productive eight months. I switched after Firefox crashed on a regular basis. However, Waterfox simply will not start any more: the problems began last week, before the version 31 update. Safe mode is fine, which suggests a plug-in problem, but I can’t find out which plug-in if it crashes on start-up. So it’s back to Firefox for now, to see if it’s more stable than it was at the end of 2013.
