I was not aware of that. I only recently started using FireFox. Previously I had used Google Chrome. My new computer crashed after I installed Chrome and I was suspicious that Chrome caused this. Also, my old computer became very slow and I was suspicious of Chrome being the cause of this. Because of these reasons, I switched to FireFox. I had liked Chrome though. I especially liked the way that it could translate foreign-language web-pages automatically. I needed that for this site: http://fforum.winglion.ru/index.php FireFox doesn't seem to do this --- at least, I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I should go back to using Chrome again. I'm not really sure that it was causing the problems with the slow-down on the old computer and crash on the new computer. Foreign-language translation is very important to me. There are more Russian-speaking Forth programmers than English-speaking nowadays. Also, the Russians are less fascinated by the ANS-Forth standard --- they aren't beholden to any American corporation --- they do their own thing. Google Translate is a good thing --- communication between different nations and different cultures is very important. :-) I want to switch over to Quark Forth --- the problem though is that most of the documentation is in Russian --- it seems to be better in some ways than the American offerings, and it is free. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
