They seem to have gone with something called Falcon instead of Firefox for some reason. Maybe because it's lightweight perhaps. I wonder what the hurtles are to having a full fat browser on the platform?

Edit: I found this that explains it. They have Wayland and lots of stuff ported but the Wayland implementation is still missing a few small bits to make it work. Very cool though.
