As much as I like Midori, the webkitgtk browser is broken for some people (including me).

It *simply* crashes on launchpad.net (Midori's site) and duckduckgo.com (default search engine).

Since I suspect this affects people with single core CPUs (or some missing feature they have) I doubt it will be fixed.

So I can't use it but I opened a bug report about a new feature (or lack of) in 0.4.7. It removes the setting of how to display buttons (icon only, text and icon etc.) when the DE has a setting for that (Xfce included).
IMO, that's a lame 'design' decision. It can be worked around by launching the browser with something like (IIRC)

unset DESKTOP_SESSION midori

This issue will mostly affect new users as the old users that had set the button option will have it followed.

Just posting in case it affects someone (for large screens it probably doesn't matter so much).

At least Christian resisted to make GTK3 default. webkitgtk3 browser is even worse in my machine.

It is sad that some users have problems on some sites with midori on some site, but is it severe enough to need to put firefox on the XFCE LiveCD, most people
will use the LiveCd to test XFCE on Fedora, but if they want to use it for real, they will install it on hard drive and add firefox or chrome, if Midori don't fit there needs.
And sure that firefox also have issues with some sites :)
