After some fast but extensive testing we are going to use epiphany as
the default browser on the installation. If other are facing similar
Firefox problems, which they can't seem to solve, epiphany might be a
good alternative. It works superfast on KDE 3.5.1 and we haven't seen
any crashes on the test with many tabs and so on - it is based upon
Mozilla as well.
We did test the Mozilla browser from the mozilla package, and got the
same crashes as with firefox.

I use Firefox under fluxbox under 3.9 with great succes. Cannot remember
it crashing. Konqueror runs fine aswell, though I use it much less.
Actually, firefox works with fluxbox without any problems. Before I
tested fluxbox I tried the "ulimit -d unlimited" so I don't know if that
has anything to do with it to. It seems like firefox became a bit faster
on KDE, but it still crashes.
Thanks for the different inputs!
