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:

- rjsw 5y agoSome of those are for optional features like WebRTC, they are not all needed for a functional browser.
- codetrotter 5y agoThis thread is about fully featured browsers though. I think without WebRTC you can not call the browser fully featured.
- rjsw 5y agoFirefox 52 is the last version that can be built without Rust, it is kept in pkgsrc for that reason.
