Details

I am behind a firewall. How can I access external sites using viewer? Apprunner sees my prefs50.js file, but viewer doesn't. Is there a command line option for setting the proxy? Environment variables? A special location for the prefs file? (I use viewer.exe instead of apprunner.exe for QA on the layout engine because it takes less time to load and has a smaller footprint.)

What sight's are you having trouble loading? beppe, anyone else on your team see this with Win98 and Viewer? Apprunner and Win98 is fine, yes?
I am having trouble with all sites outside the bath.ac.uk domain, because the proxy settings are simply not being loaded. Where should I be putting the proxy settings anyway? Apprunner is working fine. [In fact, I just deleted the Users50 directory and apprunner is _still_ fine. I don't know why. Strange.]

And viewer won't ever do this; please use apprunner.
