Thus the smiley.

This discussion has morphed into a few separate questions:
* 32-bit vs. 64-bit firefox
* 32-bit vs. 64-bit epiphany
* should firefox or epiphany be the default GNOME browser
* should the non-default GNOME browser be installed on the system by default
  or should it be in another group or something not installed by default

Majority opinion is clearly that at least firefox should be 64-bit.

It's apparently harder to have 32-bit epiphany because of closer
linkages with GNOME.

There's some passionate feeling on both sides of the last two questions.
Mainly, I think that firefox should be installed, whether or not it is
the default.  Frankly, if it's not there, people will download the
tarball and do a homedir install, and that's not really optimal.
Whether epiphany is the default and whether it's on the images I do not
care very much about.
