On 5.7 FF 35.0.1 is rock stable for me without any fiddling with /etc/login.conf or anything else. Unfortunately browser situation is becoming really alarming unless somebody really pushes netsurf. I would not comment anything based of webkit as it is not useful to me in any shape or form. We are at the point that there is not a single decent browser for UNIX.
I like the direction netsurf is going. It even has a framebuffer build option. Its far from being mature. It would be nice to build a somewhat complete browser that didn't need Qt or GTK.
