I've built Firefox on NetBSD. I wonder how many patches are required for it.

Presumably the use of rust is a dependency that needs fulfilled for building FF. Looks like there has been some work on getting rust to play with Haiku at both the Rust and Haiku ends:

That much:

Some of those are for optional features like WebRTC, they are not all needed for a functional browser.

This thread is about fully featured browsers though. I think without WebRTC you can not call the browser fully featured.

Firefox 52 is the last version that can be built without Rust, it is kept in pkgsrc for that reason.
