Firefox or Iceweasel for PiCore?
« on: March 04, 2016, 07:18:42 PM »
I didn't see anything and did note that there seems to be a script for keeping the regular x86 version updated. I think that just downloads pre-built binaries from Mozilla, but there aren't any of those available for ARM. I'm just wondering what other's thoughts are on this and whether there are plans or options available. Thanks.

To build them requires much more resources than available on Raspberry so no plan to make them. However user contributions welcome. Send it if you build it successfully

BTW, did you try midori?

Midori is not compatible with may web pages. Doesn't work well.
Usefull is only Chromium, or Firefox which both works well on even much slower HW than Rpi 2, or even Rpi 3.
