Hi Brian:
Thanks for the help.

i finally managed to install iceape-browser in antix sid. it's really fast, it has a drop-down button for bookmarks, search and location bar are merged. i like that i can add the chrome tweaks from iceweasel to hide the buttons. i couldn't find an add-on to make the entire menu in to a button, but i can hide it, that is nice. it has no close button for tabs, that can be solved with tabX add-on. and i could not get the fonts size and type to my liking. i'll keep for now with iceweasel because i use fission, omnibar and the most important for me minimalist gmail add-ons. iceape gets my vote to replace iceweasel in antix.
