Basically works

Aside from some PNG rendering problems, and the UI being glacially slow, it seems to work.

Firefox is much faster than IE in CrossOver Office. I run Redhat 7.3 at work and can not use any newer distro with Firefox for linux because my company has standarized on the RH 7.3 kernel and other shared source and libraries.

Mozilla 1.7 running natively on RH 7.3 doesn't support Windows True Type Fonts so all the text on a web page are hard to read. Firefox won't install at all natively. IE is slow running in CrossOver and flickers a lot with animated graphics. The only native linux browser that runs somewhat well is Opera but still have problem rendering web pages i.e. t-mobile.com

My only solution is to run Firefox through CrossOver.

I observe using Firefox in crossover that some graphic elements on web pages are like photo negatives showing only black and white. Minimizing and maximizing the window results in a skinny browser window. Its like the application doesn't remember its previous window size. Some times rendering the page results in many elements not showing, but if the window is minimized and then maximized, the hidden elements are shown.
