Firefox from what I gathered will be used as the de facto browser in in-VR web browsing. If you read the VIVE promotion article on VIVE homepage you'd know that they are planning a kind of VR metaverse as an interface to the games you play - instead of picking an option from a flat surface you'll "walk" into the app/game. But of course this doesn't change the facts that web is flat so any in-app or in-game web will be displayed in some fashion using the Firefox Reality engine.

Second Life has browsers in-world, and they're Chrome subprocesses. These allow you to put any web page on a surface in the 3D world.

Doing a "VR metaverse" is a big job. There are about a half dozen of them now, and they all have tiny user counts.
