[oi-dev] firefox is coming, be ready for surprises...

[Alexander Pyhalov]

Hello, people.

After struggling for a week with OpenJDK I think I have something almost 
working. Of course, it has bugs, but I don't know much about them.
So, I'm going to merge firefox and OpenJDK branches to /hipster (and 
also icedtea-web component) tomorrow.

This means - firefox 17 is coming (24 had some troubles with several 
browser plugins), also some dependent JDS/Xnv components.

One big concern here - new firefox is not compatible with Oracle JDK 
plugin (I think Studio/GCC compatibility issues).
I'll put icedtea-web in (with OpenJDK 1.7.45), but
a) JDK 6 => OpenJDK 7 migration (I know, Java is compatible... only in 
theory).
b) icedtea-web is new, fresh and I feel we'll find some new bugs

Of course, one can always use SunCC-compiled FF from 
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/contrib/ and Oracle JDK,
but it will not work out of the box.

Are there any really strong objections? :)
