TurboMozilla was designed to be more adapted to the latency issues with satellite communications (via plugins designed by Hughes), specifically for accessing https (secured) websites waaay back when it was a problem for many.  Today, it is a "has-been" and security wise similar to The Bible - - Holy   Smile Pardon the pun.....

It is no longer a problem.  DWay never removed it from their page, and the damn thing is a walking security hole.  Please be advised that if you are running DWay then you will have far better speeds and less fluctuations using IE5 or IE6.  DirecWay 6000 users have no choice, "Fox" will work of course but you will be robbing yourself of anywhere between 200-500Kbps!  Also, you will be running far less security than you may think you are.   To test, just take yourself to www.grc.com and test your security with FireFox, then reboot (to clean out the junk), and revisit with IE6 (to the Shields Up links of the first two pages you come to).

For most of you I believe you will be convinced after you allow this harmless test to "scan" you for possible holes.  NOBODY has a totally secured anything, but this place will help and also visit www.pcpitstop.com offers a free "checkup" complete with "how to fix" whatever it may find (plus phone support that is worth every penny). Or ....you can bring the detected problem here for resoluation and save a few bucks.  We won't exploit your "hole" too bady while you wait.    Shocked

Cheers!  ;)

OK, I won't use TurboMozilla anymore.  However, I did like the tabbed browsing feature, and it does seem faster at accessing https pages.
