    there are a lot of browsers,

    seamonkey
    galleon
    opera
    swiftfox

    you should just run this command in terminal:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

    that may be an easy fix for firefox
    Bodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17
    Dell Studio 17, Intel Graphics card, 4 gigs of RAM, E17

    Opera works very well for me. You may also want to try Epiphany.

    I agree. Epiphany is a great web browser. It's fully native to GNOME so it launches faster and is generally more responsive than Firefox, and the current version uses the Gecko layout engine so it should display pages the same as Firefox.
