Maybe another alternative: I'm using konqueror from kubuntu.  It's a
very decent browser that on average crashes a bit more often than a
healthy firefox.  With firefox being broken this statistics is
reversed.

I don't expect konqueror to be inherently more secure than firefox or
mozilla are.  But because much less people are using it there probably
are no exploits out there.
