Description Ann Sunhachawee 2004-03-30 17:14:17 UTC 
IDE should provide support for the popular
browsers. At least 3 users mention the use of
firefox within the week of March 22, 2004 on nbusers. 

Here's one entry for example:

  Popular means IE then nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, then
Mozilla then nothing nothing nothing then something (not sure what it
is) called Netscape with black future and then aaallll the various
small different browsers like Opera, Fire*, Konqu*, ... alltogether
with less usage than any of the three mentioed ones.
  More, fire* browsers are still in their 0.x versions. Once they
become real releases, we can support them.
  And, users are able to use these browsers. The only problem is that
they are not predefined in the options so they have to add them manually.

Maybe time to revisit this issue for 4.0. Firefox is the main browser
these days for a lot of people (myself included).

Ok, upgrading the priority of this request to P1, so we don't forget.
