Hello,
Many distributions offer a Live version now, otherwise to test, Qemu is
available. Mepis can also be found here:
http://www.ikarios.com/form/index.html#debian

as well as many distributions.

Is it worth changing distribution just because of a navigator ? Other 
than Firefox do exist too. Such as Galeon, and a few others as ie in the 
left column of this site : http://forum.framasoft.org/stats/

For the GUI if you didn't try Xfce4.2 you could take a look. Plenty 
lovely menus, so cute, easy to configure and fast.
