BeOS & Derivatives Gnash (open source implementation of Flash) is now working on Haiku. "I've been busy porting the latest Gnash 0.7.2 release to BeOS this weekend. I did start this port as the other version that was apparently ported earlier this year never had a public release. I've achieved a full port that is using the AGG rendering backend and a native BeOS GUI. I also wrote a Firefox plugin based on my SVG plugin. The native BeOS audio handler is yet incomplete, which is the reason why I didn't release anything yet."

When I used BeOS as my main OS about a year ago, Firefox ran quiet well on it, even though my system was just 600mhz.

The BeOS firefix port has a lot of performance hacks done to it if I remember correctly... Like making it more multithreaded, At least as far as the GUI is concerned.

The BeOS port was the most responsive port of firefox I have used to date ;)
