It seems to me that FF 4 is too far. Version 3.7, which will be faster, it also
changes, which in Haiku we do not use (transparency etc. - the need to have a
Gallium 3D).
Fresh version Firefox 3.6 that would be a significant step forward (to old
2.0.0.22pre). Of course we are talking about native port of FF - any needed on
Qt etc. Can we open bounty on Firefox 3.6.x? Maybe fyysik and tqh will be
interested.
