It took a little time, because I wanted to update my ports to give Konqueror 
every chance.  So eventually, I installed Firefox 3.5.6.  It suffers the same 
anomaly, no text on the Back, Next, and other buttons.  I believe these 
buttons are flash widgets, so the real problem is in our flash support, not 
actually the browsers.
