OpenEmbedded/Yocto BSP layer for Firefox Browser
================================================

This layer wasn't updated for couple years and firefox here
is so old that nobody should use it. If you're looking for
newer firefox recipes, then look at this fork:
https://github.com/webdino/meta-browser
I haven't tried it and I have no idea why they never sent
any PR back, but at least it has newer version and higher
chance that it will actually build than the firefox-68 here.

I think it would be better to ecourage upstreaming the changes. Or perhaps removing firefox recipes from meta-browser instead of pointing to a fork.

This PR (and issue ticket in their fork) is trying to encourage them to upstream the changes, but if they don't then better to at least point there as people are more likely to find this layer in layerindex.

This layer provides web browser recipes for use with OpenEmbedded
and/or Yocto.
