Well, Linuxulator allows me to use binary only applications of Linux in FreeBSD without too much problem. I think running Firefox in the Linuxulator is nonsense, because it's supposed that Linuxulator is there for applications that can not be ported to FreeBSD (for example: the code is not open, you bough a privative linux-or-windows-only binary app). Naturally the Linuxulator will always lag behind Linux, but it works for me and I bet I'm not the only one. I think it should only be removed if 1) no one wants to maintain it 2) It obstructs the development of new code. Otherwise, I see no logical reason in this. Regards, Alex.
