Michael, I download and install mozilla from www.mozilla.org, seems to
work OK. I've never seen a current package in apt or dselect. What works
for me:
1. Download the installer of your choice. I always just get the latest
nightly build, but they usually advertise a stable build (last was 9.4
or something.)
2. I have rotten luck with getting JavaVM, Flash, etc. to install
properly when not running as root, but once installed they run great.
I do have few persistant font/display issues, but these most crop up
in java applets, not normal web browsing.
You could also consider the latest version of Netscape6.
HTH, Paul
PS: If anyone knows how to update your mozilla install without losing
your plugins, please let me know :-)
