I remember similar posts about mozilla from more than a year ago. I can
understand why people tend not to believe them so much...
Anyway, there is still one annoying bug with reading hebrew text: try
copying the text to any other program: you simply can't select it.
Apart from that, it is pretty stable and resonably fast. You can also try
the native alternatives: galoen et. al on linux . I'm not sure about other
platforms.
