Firedog 3.6.12
a remastered version of Firefox, for Puppy Linux, built for speed and usability
Download: firedog-3.6.pet (12.1mb, md5: 6d807a8b9a05faa79071c2a1f3b7ed0e)
Tested and working on Puppy 4.2, Puppy 4.3 and LupQ.
Features nicely integrated GUI, faster browsing, mail client, image and ad blocking, video download and much more.
It also comes with the 'Pup-Advert-Blocker' tool, so you can block even more ads.
This is based on the Firefox 3.6 pet package from here
This version has been upgraded to 3.6.12, re-configured and then rebranded.
Do not install this if you have Firefox installed - Firefox will be overwritten!
Firedog will install itself as the default browser.
