Hi Tasilo,

I appreciate your response and the information you provided, but
I don't want to use w3m. I want to use firefox. This is because
(correct me if I'm wrong) firefox is more likely to have a more
complete implementation of html in all of its complexities than
w3m. 

I tried substituting "firefox" for "w3m" but that didn't work. It
also seems there are many "sub-options" for the html rendering and
the entire mechanism is very confusing to me because I haven't seen
a document that ties all of these together from a top-level operational
point-of-view. 

Any further information would be appreciated.
