This has taken a long time to get this far, must try it again...

Install was painless and completed in under 60sec, boot was fast, maybe not as fast as the good old BE5 and it seems to work

Does Firefox work with Haiku already?

[–] EasilyForgotten@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

While some folks managed to build and run Firefox 128... it is not yet ready "for the general public".

You can read about the progress porting it here: https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/progress-on-porting-firefox/13493

Very cool. When this really works, I might install Haiku to my fun and play laptop...
