No, it's still full of bugs.
Mozilla won't be included anyway, it's a 3rd party app.

Normally i'd take this hardline stance on 3rd party apps, but if we say, 
ship firefox with ReactOS 0.3, we'd raise a lot of eyebrows.  Suddenly 
this puny operating system that crashes all the time and isn't 
compatible with much of anything is running several complex, everyday apps.

I was thinking something similar about including MinGW.  Once a full 
self-compiling/development system is set up - MinGW+ReactOS source and 
binaries - in an iso image, you're saying, "that's what it's for, just do

it!"

That's the sort of confidence created by the early Linux distros.
