All browsers I have tried but Links2 crash constantly.  Often they will not run at all. This leaves anyone using this machine pretty upset.
I expect the browsers to work and not crash all the time.  I cannot install Chromium, and cannot install iceweasel or related browsers as these packages are broken.  Were it not for Links2 I would have no stable browsing capability on Debian Wheezy.
