Hey Ant are ou still waiting for a reply mate?

I have found the best all round solution is Seamonkey 1.0

This is a build of the suite based on the 1.8 branch.

In other words the rendering engine is the SAME as current FF & TB but 
it is a more complete & polished application than those. (don't need all 
those silly extensions)

I find it uses half the resources of FF & TB.
