You could also try Seamonkey [1] which is closer replacement of Mozilla |
| 20 |
than Firefox. It is an "all-in-one" solution just like Mozilla (web |
| 21 |
browser, e-mail client, HTML composer, IRC client). It can be found in |
| 22 |
portage. |

P.S. |
| 28 |
Have you set Firefox to clean your private information (and especially |
| 29 |
cookies) at exit? If so, the behavior you describe is normal, because |
| 30 |
your preferences for google are stored by cookies. |
