Indeed it may be a long and difficult road on the WebKit port and new
browser. Even when that is in great shape I think having a decent
Firefox port would be a great thing and make Haiku a more viable
platform. In fact I'd love to see Haiku's port of Firefox be as fast
or faster than the other platforms.

But obviously I won't have any time for the foreseeable future to work
on this, as I need to be working on the aforementioned WebKit port and
browser. Though I suspect there could be some sharing of code and/or
knowledge in how to implement certain browser technologies on Haiku
between the projects. So whoever starts work on this new FF port can
feel free to contact me if they want to discuss anything.
