I don't know much about xfce, being a KDE user, but start by looking at 
/var/log/pacman.log. It should tell you what packages actually were 
installed or which errors occured.

Or for a basic troubleshooting you could try a terminal-based browser, 
such as links. It's not much, but at least ArchLinux wiki will be 
perfectly readable.
