Firefox 19.02 with Ubuntu 12.04 problems

[Serge Hallyn]

I tend to use vimprobable2 (from ppa:serge-hallyn/vimprobable) with
plugins and js disabled by default (ctrl-p and ctrl-s to enable) and
pretty tight apparmor profile (included in the pkg) for most of my
browsing.  (Works great when there's no mouse available too, but so
does pentadactyl)  It certainly has sites that give it problems, and
plenty of people worry about webkit's security in general.

> Dan, try some of the other browsers too. I have been surf as my go to browser lately. I also enjoy w3m for text mode, uzbl is good too for light weight. Midori and epiphany use Web kit as well. I don't like dillo. I think galeon and ice weasel are still supported but I don't use.
