many thx, mikesLr, i'll try your suggestions. i suspected i needed Whisker, and was surprised it's not already installed in xenialPupX (at least as an optional panel item).
yep, i know it's 64bit. Will try the browsers you suggested.
Re Opera: On Mint xfce, i compared Iron, Chrome, Chromium, SlimJet, and Opera re RAM footprint and page-load speed, under various tests-- eg with many tabs open, facebook, youtube, etc. Opera consistently gave lowest RAM footprint and fastest load times. Maybe worth reconsidering for puppies.
Why is XenialPupX so big!? About 750MB. i tried to remove LibreOffice with 'Remove builtin packages' tool, but not listed there. Only "Get LibreOffice" is listed.

So, there's another project for you. Examine how Mike Walsh and peebee create web-browsers which run as spot. Mike Walsh's Chrome thread provides a lot of info as to what he's done.

I don't have XenialPupX.
Doubt it was included in Battleshooter's xfce pet package. Are you sure it isn't a loaded SFS?
