Re: Firefox GS

["Joshua Bell" <inexorabletash@hotmail.com>]

The mini-Mozilla builds (a subset of Firefox, basically) for portable 
devices fail to provide an acceptable experience on my PocketPC phone with a 
~200MHz 32bit ARM processor 64MB of RAM and basically unlimited disk space. 
(I believe the currently available development on this is being scrapped in 
favor of a rewrite targeted at mobile devices, which means it will diverge 
even further from the Firefox browser.)

A graphical browser is certainly possible, but it wouldn't be Firefox on the 
GS itself. (You could have Firefox render on a beefier proxy and stream the 
graphics down, or something like the Contiki browser on steroids.)
