I'm sorry I cannot answer your questions because I have no experience
with Linux versions of Phoenix or Firebird.  In my comments above I
expressed only the opinion that the old Phoenix browsers might run
a lot better than the Firebird browsers in older machines lacking big
memory resources because the old Phoenix browsers do not require as
much memory.
