I am on my father's tablet so I am installing it now.

I hope everyone likes the new version. I put a lot of time into it and added a lot of user requested features such as the ability to set which toolbars toggle. It should work out good on a tablet PC. Here is a tip for getting maximum screen realestate. Click the chromeless window mode button in menux. Then instead of using tabs use new windows. Press Alt+= and a popup list of your windows will appear so you can quickly navigate between windows. If for some reason you need the chrome turned on for a window press F12 and it will reappear.

I made a small adjustment to the chomeless window function since legitamate popup windows were displaying without the window chrome. Pickup the update here:

I am an, er, retired developer. I now work as a mental health counselor for substance abuse, believe it or not. I just like to poke around in code now making extensions for Firefox for fun. I got out of the software business since the pay cuts going around gave me a real sour taste in my mouth.

Menux is now available in IT, FR, DE, PL, and FR translations:
