Why...?

I'm not sure why this is even accepted as an entry... Firefox is native to Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. There is no need to run it in CrossOver.

It was accepted because Crossover runs Windows apps and this is the Windows
version of Firefox. It doesn't matter if you find it useless, or if the app has
a native version. There are plenty of browser games and plugins that are Windows
only.

It's also accepted because it's useful to run native Firefox next to Windows Firefox and compare performance, rendering, etc. Not that we do it all the time, but this is actually useful and we're happy to have an entry where our community can compare the same along with us (like, if everyone says FF for Windows runs gold, we are doing an awesome job!).
