I have noticed for sometime now that NetSurf is not very good at clearing
up it's Dynamic Memory area. For example if I view a few web sites, I
find I have multiple Dynamic Areas for NetSurf, some quite large, but only
every disappear when I quite NetSurf.
I'm guessing this a general feature of NetSurf ;)

For those of use that do not use the Welcome page, I would say better to
have indication in the URL bar. Perhaps a logo or text to appear on the
right handside? Then perhaps if you menu click over the logo/text it will
pop-up with list of available choices to temporarily choose from.

Thanks for this. Found the list in NetSurf Configuration GUI.

I've now tried the recent NetSurf versions on a Number of different RISC
OS version installs, and they just will not do the business.
Revert to an older NS and it works okay.
I have absolutely no idea what's causing this?

Filetype is being set
*show file$type_faf
File$Type_FAF : HTML
but the icon is not being picked up by HTML files

!NetSurf.!Boot should contain the line
Set File$Type_FAF HTML
(although I would expect this to get set elsewhere in a modern Boot
sequence), so if your files of type &FAF are not showing in the Filer as
having type "HTML" that would suggest that this line has not been
executed.
I note that the ASprites/ASprites11 files don't seem to contain anything
other than the basic NetSurf icon sprite, whereas the 5Sprites file also
has various filetype icons - but not a file_faf icon, so I can't see how
that would be significant....

[netsurf-users] NetSurf no html filetype icon
Since updating #6799 I notice that my html files are showing in the filer
window with the unknown filetype icon ie a question mark. The files have a
file type of xFAF and launch NetSurf when double-clicked.
Anyone else seen this?
