Hi there,

as in the other DEs the default browser in LXDE is Firefox.
On the one hand one might have the opinion, that having the same apps
on all the DEs is a good choice, but actually LXDE is a Lightweight DE
and Firefox may be many things but not lightweight. Quite to the
contrary, it is a resource hungry monster.

I would suggest now, to replace ff in task-lxde by midori, which is
far lighter then ff and in my tests I didn't find any missing
features. The next best solution would be chromium, which is a lot
heavier then midori but doesn't lack any features and is still lighter
then ff.

What do you think?

Well, when i did my last beta1 installation, doing custom selection
and only adding LXDE and development category, the default launcher
on the LXDE panel included Midori instead of Firefox, now i wonder
if that's only a coincidence or maybe it has already been changed,
maybe in rpmsrate?
