The new version is actually written in JavaScript, which is the same as the previous version. > Is there any documentation that might be helpful in my situation? You can refer to the wiki at http://conkeror.org Also, if you are able, if you go to the IRC channel #conkeror at irc.freenode.net, you may find it is easier to get help there. I am on that channel quite a bit of the time, and others are often there as well. >> From: Sven Bretfeld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Joe Fineman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> > I use Conkeror (the old one, parasitic on Firefox) under Windows >> > XP with Firefox as the default browser.

You will probably find the xulrunner version is substantially improved over the previous one, although there is not that great documentation.
