About Firefox:
Mozilla Firefox is a free, open-source web browser for Windows, Linux, MacOS X and BeOS! It is fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as tabbed browsing, built-in spell check and search engine integration and the ability to block pop-up windows. This page hosts "stable" builds a.k.a "releases".
The BeOS porting team of the Mozilla project is happy to announce the availability of our Firefox 2.0 port for BeOS-compatible systems. This build incorporates numerous BeOS-specific updates in addition to all the wonderful new features supported by Firefox 2.0. One of the biggest is the ability to use Firefox as a "semi-native" app. To run without the script, add the following lines to /boot/home/config/boot/UserSetupEnvironment
export LIBRARY_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$LIBRARY_PATH
export ADDON_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$ADDON_PATH
Installation is simple: extract the Firefox folder from the archive. Move the folder where you want it before you execute firefox-bin for the first time. If your environment includes the export statments above, you will be able to run firefox-bin directly, without the script, and set Firefox as the default handler for http links, https links and html file MIME-types. You might also want to rename firefox-bin to Firefox prior to first launch, to make it look nice in your Deskbar.
Security Note:
If you move Firefox or any of its components after the first execution, even just by dragging the folder to a new location, Firefox will stop working. On first execution, Firefox notes and records its environs, then stops working for security reasons if it sees subsequent changes.
So where is Firefox 3?
The Mozilla Foundation has released Firefox 3, but unfortunately this new version incorporates both code and dependencies that cannot be supported under any flavor of BeOS or Zeta. Activity is under way to port FF3 to Haiku but for now, please be patient and use Firefox 2 on your favorite OS.
