I'm in the same fix... But. When I will find open source, acceptable
browser which I can predict will last and will have the same great
attitude late netscape or mozilla had, I will start installing it
simultaneously with firefox, yet will make it default browser, which users
can switch to firefox from if the want to, and will definitely mention why
I suggest that browser. Some users will get alone with new browser, and
after some critical mass of them, maybe a year down the road it will be
done deal. The only shortcoming in my plan is an existence of damn google
chrome. (Others already cursed at it, so I'll save my breath).
