From sharprom --->> cacko --->> openzaurus --->> pdaXii13 --->> r198 --->> debian eabi --->> to titchy oabi?
There is no real browser in eabi. Dillo seems to be too weak - no frames - no java. Firefox is loading 6 minutes and segfaults - always. Iceweasel needs two minutes to start and crashes when flash-applications appear. Icehamster is faster, nice but crashes because of the same reason like iceweasel too. Konqueror with the flashplugin might to be a solution, but kde fails to install (broken packages, broken-packages, broken-packages ...). ......... , anyway iceweasel crashes and hangs, which sometimes forced me to reset and reboot which ends in several fsck-routines and fixes (no-backup --> always praying  ).Titchy Oabi apologies to be slow-loading, but includes a working firefox. For a non-programmer, like me, oabi might be a sulution. In eabi it is often very hard for me, to put together all the cryptic forum-posts, to get a working application. What worth is a distribution without a working browser? Is eabi more stable than eabi? ------------------------------------------------------------------- S O L V E D ! CODE apt-get install iceweasel Now, after the last upgrade, iceweasel will start without problems. (Seems, that there is a "political" conflict between Debian and Mozilla, so firefox has been replaced by Iceweasel!) |

Epiphany is able to handle java and frames but crashes/ when a flash-application is part of a website. |

Changed my sources.list from the old stable sources to:
CODE deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://matrixmen.free.fr/zaurus/debian sid main contrib non-free Then i did a CODE apt-get install konqueror konqueror-plugin-gnash Now, konqueror and epiphany-gecko seem to be more stable. And, konqueror shows flash-applications. No more crashes.  But - iceweasel still won´t work.  and - there seem to be no other working application-handlers for the browsers like wmv, real ... I am still waiting for a working iceweasel (firefox).

Two GREAT browsers for debian-eabi:
1. arora (qt4+webkit based): small and fast. Only problem: cannot access gmail for now. And, its in the debian feed so easy install. 2. midori: I have built the latest from source and it has become nice and stable. I recommend both browsers. |

About epiphany browser (epiphany-browser and epiphany-webkit). I've tried it and found out quite fast and nice if not the one problem - it cant save files to disc. I press ctrl-shift-s or press 'save as' File menu item and nothing happens - no dialog, no file on disc. Also when i try to download torrent file it wont suggest to save it, but display its contents in current window. But the same time other browsers i tried do ok (and mime config files seems ok too).
Anyone faced this issue before ? Any suggests to solve it ? |

The trick is the reverse order: First, select "File" then select "save as" and THEN!! klick on the object to download. |

I've compiled latest midori from sources. It starts fast but... has no url box... So i have nowhere to type in url. The only way to run it is to put google as home page. I did a quite straightforward building - download, untar, configure, make... Na magic done. So i wonder if its the midori known behaviour or the issue of the build process.
