Sometimes older systems are uncapable of running Mozilla or Firefox, because it's just too slow. And even k-meleon might be too heavy for them. Most of those users are stuck using old versions of Netscape Communicator and IE. However, and even though it went by mostly un-noticed, all zipped builds of mozilla distributions include a file called "mfcEmbed.exe" which is actually a very usable mini-browser if you don't need advanced features like themes or tabbed browsing.

For those users, i created a stand-alone archive consisting solely of mfcEmbed and its dependencies, and saved around 15mb of uncompressed "junk", based on the very latest Mozilla Core.

It can be downloaded here: http://kidzilla.planetaclix.pt/mfcembed.zip

Known bugs:

- The about: and about:config windows don't work, because i wiped out most of the chrome.
- about:mozilla and about:buildconfig do work, however
- There are probably more, but i haven't found them yet.

Enjoy!

The Mozilla Foundation did make official stand alone nightly versions of MfcEmbed, but they were discontinued around the time of the Mozilla 1.5 release. If you want to take a look at those, they are still available from Mozilla's archive server.

Anyway, it would be interesting to see what you can do with this project; right now it looks just like what the old MfcEmbed nightlys looked like.

Edit: This doesn't have any horiznatal or vertical scrollbars. It doesn't really bother me, as I have a scroll-wheel on my mouse, but users without a wheel may have difficulty navigating pages without scrollbars.

A small note: MFCEmbed also has the capability to edit webpages, try File - Open Editor Window or something like that. I'll check out the problem with the scrollbars tomorrow
