Toot

An experimental port of Firefox Iceweasel is now available on HaikuDepot! So far, most sites are working fine. YouTube video playback is fine and Discord just works, however the web browser does occasionally take itself down. Still rather usable, though! If @ActionRetro thought that Haiku was ready for daily driving with Falkon (see first screenshot), then rebranded Firefox surely has to make it even more viable by those standards!

It should be noted though that just like with Falkon, some crash dialogs can be ignored (drag them to another workspace) and the web browser can still be used.

On a related note, what does Mozilla require for a port or package to be allowed usage of the Firefox brand?

@w8l@scalie.zone @ActionRetro@bitbang.social i love haiku but the browser situation up until now has made things difficult. not impossible, but difficult. even half-working firefox makes it viable for me

@linear @ActionRetro @w8l sorry, I do my best with WebKit and WebPositive but I don't have enough time to give it the attention it needs.

@pulkomandy@mastodon.tetaneutral.net @ActionRetro@bitbang.social @w8l@scalie.zone oh i do not blame you at all! i understand the difficulty involved in trying to keep up with the browsers, and have honestly been amazed at where things stood in the first place
