Hi,
in lubuntu 13.10 firefox will be the default browser. If it does not work
well and Chromium gets better we will discuss again for 14.04.
The discussions of 'which is best' have been finished. Get on board with
Ffox for 13.10, that is what we will be shipping as the default. Use the

Personally, Firefox wins because of launchpad plug-ins. They're really handy.
I feel as though Firefox feels zippier than Chrome overall when browsing.

Is it possible to make a test, releasing 13.10 with FF?
If everything goes good, then FF to 14.04. If does not, back to Chromium on
14.04...
It might be a good (and last) change for testing, cause 14.04 is gonna be
the LTS, right?

You can boot with a kernel parameter

or
