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 :)
