I have been using "epiphany" as my default browser for more than 2 years,
and I really wonder why the standard "GNOME" web browser still isn't
installed as the default application. I used a customized "Fedora" package
built against "xulrunner" already about 6 months ago, and it worked well
for me.Similarly, "konqueror" has come a long way, and could certainly be used as
default browser when "KDE" is chosen as desktop evironment. Both are better
integrated with their respective desktop environments than "firefox" is, and
one would also speed up development and further debugging of those packages.
No need to include "firefox" in the base install. It could (should) even be
moved to "extras" then.
