I decided against trying it anyway. Open Office works pretty good :)

Haven't (and won't) try Chrome, but Opera is still far superior to
Firefox and has been my browser of choice since version 6.x

Anything with the word Lotus in it can't be good :-\

They are of course totally exaggerating here. There is no way that 1m

I forgot to mention I also have Seamonkey, and installed two more
yesterday, Epiphany and Arora. I had no problems with any of them like
Darrell mentioned. Epiphany didn't crash but created a bug report when I
closed it.

I'll pass on Konquerer since I'm using Gnome.

Using opensuse 11.2 Firefox displays a gray box where the images should go
unless another application takes the foreground then closes, in which case
the gray box contains the part of the screen in the area of the box.

It has to be one of the plugins using Quicktime that is screwing up but I
don't know which one. Is this what you are using? http://patft.uspto.gov/

As I said Opera displays the images correctly and clearly and Konqueror
displays them but kind of faint and fuzzy.
