I tried Mozilla too.

However, I was unable to use it to view man2html pages.  There seems
to be a bug in Mozilla with interpretation of URLs with no hostnames,
for example

http:/cgi-bin/man2html

if this URL is given as a link on a page served by localhost, it
should be interpreted as 

http://localhost/cgi-bin/man2html

but instead, Mozilla throws me into some horrible intensive
advertising site like www.cgi-bin.com, which seems to have been
created especially to trap the victims of this bug :-(
