I think this is one of those time when we are all going to agree to disagree...
Julien, if we go with Midori, can we put a script or shortcut on the desktop that will install FF? Personally I think this would fit the bill, have a lite browser, but give users who don't know very much a "simple" way to install FF. I am thinking about the illiterate here, bot people like us who know what we are doing. I'm fine with Midori since it seems to do everything FF does, but I suspect if we have some way to track it, I think you would see a lot of FF installs after the fact.
