HaikuNews recently reported on a problem encountered by the BeZilla developers: Firefox (and several related projects) have recently begun using the SQLite database engine for storing information like bookmarks, and this introduced problems into the build process. The problem was related to the fact that SQLite doesn’t (didn’t) support the native BeOS threading model.

Just about a week later, Kian Duffy posted a follow up with the news that native BeOS threading has been implemented in SQLite – thanks to Ren?? Gollent and Fran??ois Revol (aka “mmu_man”), Firefox can now be built for BeOS again and new builds have been released on BeBits in the last few days. Besides the under-the-hood modifications, the most prominent change is that Firefox now supports inline spell checking of text entered into web-based forms – could this mean the end of OSNews comments about the reprocutions of pooring heatred into the holy grale?
