Re: [opensuse] MozillaFirefox-3.6.x already dropped?

Felix, FWIW, I moved to FF 11.0 without much kicking and screaming. Both FF& TB
are notably slower (but very usable) in the post 3X releases. I'm hoping this
behavior will get ironed out in the upcoming releases.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537890 implemented broken IE and Safari behavior in Gecko (justified as lesser evil). 3.6.x is the last line that still could make 12pt=12pt by using actual display DPI (when accurately set) instead of 16px without application of proprietary CSS (mozmm). That breaks every web page using pt/in/cm/etc. (all absolute units, which 537890 eliminated for all displays that are not in fact 96 DPI pixel density) to display objects at their actual size rather than a "logical" size. Open http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html or http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fonts-ptdemo.html in a non-96DPI environment in 3.6.x and 4+ side by side to see an example.
