Firefox progress

[Ge van Geldorp]

For a long time we've had problems with firefox hanging during startup.
Well, I have some good news, as of r18418 it at least shows its main window,
see http://www.reactos.nl/pics/ff1.png There are still lots of other
problems, but I'm pretty sure we can fix those too in the next month or so.

Great!
Why we dn't wait for 0.2.8 until Firefox is (almost) complete runable on
reactos? So we would have great news for the people and show that network
is going on ;)

As far as I'm concerned, we should just go ahead with the 0.2.8 release and
not wait. There's always going to be something to wait for. Firefox is a
requirement for 0.3, not for 0.2.8

Firefox is a prerequisite for 0.3
We should continue to branch for 0.2.8 now.
