Progress on porting Firefox

This is the first time I tried the Firefox port (super easy to install from the Lote repository), took less than 20 seconds to install it and all dependencies, and after a couple of minutes of visiting some of the heavier sites I visit, I must admit that the performance and stability is much better than what I expected. As a test version (with work in progress dependencies), it works surprisingly well. A few niggling issues that is to be expected for a work in progress port, eventually it should be on par with other OS ports.

Its funny to visit other sites and to see them autodetect Linux as the hosting browser OS. I do understand the browser id problems that some websites have, hence why the ID needs to be masquaraded to something they will accept. Cannot believe that this is still a thing in 2024.

Well done everyone involved with the project.
