I've got Netsurf going okay, it's far more reliable on the PandaRo than
a Risc PC, though a lot of that is due to not being on dialup.
But there are sone things Netsurf can't yet do, which Firefox can.
A friend reckons I have got Firefox working, it just doesn't look like it
due to its foible of not bothering with an icon on the icon bar. He says there
is a little prog somewhere that forces this to happen. Any ideas?
