mozilla 1.3, galeon 1.3.4 and epiphany-browser for gnome2.2 backport
I have had several requests to get mozilla 1.3 and galeon into the
backport. I also wanted to try out epiphany-browser. I have been
hesitant because the stable galeon 1.2 series hasn't worked with mozilla
1.3. There are also issues with gtk2 mozembed which affects the acrobat
reader plugin (you use plugger-4.0 to get around this). Also, many
galeon1 users have had complaints of galeon2 (1.3.4 in the backport) new
HIG compliance and simplified preferences.
However, I decided to backport these and make them available for
testing, but put them into a different directory. To try them out, add
this to your sources.list:
deb
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody/ gnome2.2/mozilla-1.3/
The acroread plugin notwithstanding, I can say that mozilla and galeon
appear very usable and stable. epiphany-browser has stability issues
when importing bookmarks and performance issues when using bookmarks on
my system, but is worth a look.
Have fun!
