Firefox for the Amiga!

[MiAmigo]

Why not? We deserve it! We need a consortium, a coalition of the willing! What say you?

[adolescent]

There's already a coalition...

Great. It'd be nothing less than pure, ironic, poetic justice,
perpetrated on the twin evils of the MS/WINTEL monopoly!

[Effy]

MiAmigo : may I ask how many bottles of moonshine whiskey you have consumed in the past 24 hours  :lol:

"It's not the kwantity, its the kwality!" Can you play "Melancholy Baby" on the SID chip?

So far, I've tried 2 browsers on the Amiga (IBrowse, and AWeb), and both are pretty crappy, to say the least!  :madashell: Slow, accesses the HD way too much, graphics that  don't appear, and fonts that look like they've been sandpapered. How's that project with AmiZilla work? Are they collecting money (from us) to fund Firefox/Mozilla development for the Amiga? And, more importantly, is that money, err, 'safe'? I wouldn't mind donating, but I sort of have to know I'm not going to be scammed. Because, if that's the case, I know of a few people in Asia who could use my money a whole lot more. (FYI:, I'm already a donor to the Tsunami Relief Fund on Amazon).

The AmiZilla project is well established, and will basically pay out money for proven Mozilla on Amiga code - a bounty in other words.

If you have money to spare, I'd say the Tsunami appeals are a more deserving use of it at the moment - AmiZilla will still be there later ;-)

May i suggest you, to check DEEPLY your config?

[djnick]

Firefox is nearly as good as Opera browser is for PC... But still - Opera is better coded and has HIDE option [which, unfortunatelly lacks in FFox]... And... page scroll on middle mouse button is looking smoother in Opera than on FFox. But if ported - FFox will be the best browser on Amiga... At least - any [new] browser is better than any Amiga browsers

quoting framigo:

"May i suggest you, to check DEEPLY your config?"

Yes Framigo. True thing spoken there.

I've been using Ibrowse 2.3 for quite some time now.

Can you tell me of any other browser that lets you:

- stop loading a page, and then have it continue loading the images only?
- drag url/links to an adjecent or new browser-tab?
- drag url/links to a fastlink?
- actually loads previous used documents from your harddisk instead of reloading them over and over again from the net(work)? [Yawn...]

Huh???

Ibrowse RULEZ!

Given:

- the antialiasing could have been solved by now
- the URL-specific preferences are a very cool option, but unfortunately do not work with some popular sites like Yahoo!, Ebay, ...

@ Stefano

Um, See sig.

Oh, wait, it's not available on the Amiga. :-o
