Hi!
To make gcc 4 builds more usable an easily accessible browser is really
necessary. As can be seen in the screenshot below, Firefox can be built
for gcc 4 Haiku.

There is also a guide on how to cross-compile Firefox for Haiku here:
http://wiki.bebits.com/page/CrosscompilingFirefox
Though there seems to be two dependencies missing, quoting from the
article: "We need glib and libIDL for Haiku. Unfortunatly glib was hard
to crosscompile so I will not discuss it here. Hopefully someone will
provide proper built versions."
It would be nice if not everyone who wants Firefox for gcc 4 built Haiku
needs to build it themselves, going through a seemingly cumbersome
procedure. As there seems to be some people out there who already have
it built, could you make it available as an "optional package", like the
gcc 2 version?
