Don't worry the Firefox port developers stopped working on Firefox in
the beginning of 2007, pretty much for the same reasons you mention
and the big problems of trying to work with Mozilla.
I will try to help bring our webkit browser further along, but I can't
promise anything as my time is also a bit limited. There are two
things I would like to focus on: improving page loading for WebKit and
perhaps ease of development of the browser (like the guides I've
written before: http://wiki.bebits.com/page/BuildingFirebird
http://wiki.bebits.com/page/CrosscompilingFirefox
http://wiki.bebits.com/page/BuildingCairo )
I am not a UI developer so don't expect me to fix things there.
Btw, if you have any time and interest in a decent web browser, this
is a pledge to come help out and reach that goal.
