The fix mentioned in the firefox font thread seems to
fix my firefox problem. I currently booted on kernel
1447 and it still had the problem until I uncommented
the settings mentioned in the other thread.

I tried running epiphany from the command line and it
said it can't find shared object libgtkembedmoz.so.
There is a bugzilla bug that seems to describe the
problem, but I'm confused about the solution:
