Is this worth the effort? RHEL 6.0, the  upstream OS for SL 6.0, was
released in November of 2010. Maintaining sophisticated tools, like
modern browsers, on business stable operating systems that are seven
years old can be a technological black hole. Browsers, in particular,
are forced to chase the bleeding edge of external website technologies
and can be *very* difficult to keep up to date.

Frankly, this is why I try to insist that for reliable and compatible
web pages, it has to work with "lynx" or "links". It's also far more
likely to be usable for visually impaired people if it works well with
such pure text web clients.
