I have run Firefox (the Feb '08, RISC OS Release 4 RiscPC version) on
my setup here (Win7-64, RPCEmu 0.8.11/RO 4.02), but honestly, why
would you want to? The PC version is newer, more secure, more stable
and much faster, and accessible by pressing Alt-Tab any time you want.
If you were running a standalone RISC OS machine I can see you might
want a browser with more effective Javascript than NetSurf (albeit
much slower and less stable), but as one of the merits of RPCEmu is
that one has instant access to the PC side, what's the point?
