the perfect PC.  Also, fast Internet connection speed make evolution

This reply isn't helpful for the OP at all, but since it's a valid
request to get a stable office workstation, containing a stable
combination of a mailer and browser, I guess I shouldn't reply off-list.

I dislike Firefox, while at the same time I like much of the work-flow
when using Firefox and browsers similar to Firefox.

First of all, Firefox usually is stable, but it comes with a few
pitfalls. One pitfall is caused by add-ons. Add-ons might make Firefox
unstable. Another pitfall is the software design. Sometimes Firefox just
performs very bad, this is not the same as being unstable. While some
sites cause Firefox and sometimes even the WM/DE to become unresponsive
for minutes, the same sites with a webkit based browser are fast as
lightning and don't cause any issues. A browser that is very close to
Firefox, but based upon webkit is QupZilla. Since you are using
Evolution, you might want to stay consequently gnomeish and use the
GNOME browser, that also is based upon webkit. I don't have experiences
with the GNOME browser, but I at least can recommend to use QupZilla.

What does this have to do with Evolution? Please stay on-topic for the
list.
