I'm using Epiphany 2.22.1.1 with Gecko rendering.  It works great while avoiding much of the
brain-deadness of FF3 itself.  For example, changing font sizes does not block on a write, and
it has a very nice and usable history system.  Far superior bookmarking... without the
relational database.  It's what FF should be.

Epiphany 2.22.1.1-3 in experimental has switched to webkit-only.

My

apt-cache policy epiphany-{gecko,webkit}

doesn't agree. You can install both variants and run whichever you feel like at will.
