After more than a year of development, a working port of the Firefox browser for the open operating system Haiku has been prepared, continuing the development of ideas from Beos. Ready-made installation assemblies have not yet been published, but for those interested in using Firefox in Haiku, source texts can be assembled from here. Haiku currently offers webpositive browsers, Epiphany, and Falkon, but some users have experienced difficulties due to the suspicious attitude towards them from certain maintenance networks and large sites.
According to data from one of the Haiku developers in the early 2000s, BEOS enthusiasts were among the inspirers of creating Firefox. The Bezilla project worked on porting the Mozilla Suite package for the BEOS OS, but since the package was too large, the BEOS community attempted to create a lightweight version. Mozilla developers saw potential in the idea and released their own separate version of the browser, initially named Phoenix, then Firebird, and eventually Firefox to avoid naming conflicts with a free DBMS.
