Speaking of size issues, could we reconsider using Epiphany (about 6MB
rpm + about 1MB rpm for extensions) instead of Firefox (about 10MB rpm)
as part of this Feature (both currently require xulrunner)? Epiphany is
official part of the Gnome Project (in contrast to firefox), follows the
gnome HIG, better integrates with various system settings and seems
faster than firefox.

Thanks,
Martin
