My main concern is that this future versions of Firefox seems to make a major shift in the technology that is used to have, and it seems to me that it is going to have more challenge to port it eCS-OS2.
Sure: It seems to me as then someone has to port Azure first. I fear that trends like that will be responsible for an early dead.
I am willing to bet that Azure will have a cario compatable fallback mode, after all even in the Linux/Windows worlds (especially embedded) devices may have substandard or poorly implemented OpenGL Drivers. This is really mentionable as far as embedded devices are concerned since battery life vs slight performance increases become increasingly important. I however would love to see some tweaking to the OS/2 version of firefox to improve screen rendering performance, though I fear that comes down to needing updated accelerated video drivers for our display adapters. There is only so much you can do without proper hardware support. I know the authors of panorama would like to argue that, but real world usage cannot be disputed.
