New AmiZilla Marketing Campaign Launched

I think they should forget Mozilla and port Mozilla Firebird.
Mozilla is to big. Amiga people dont need the email & other stuff that comes with it. I've dumped Opera for Mozilla Firebird. This is the best "free" browser I have ever used.
Its really fast, pop ups are gone, and it displays every page I throw at it correctly.

But by porting Mozilla, your going to get a cross platform environment thats going to allow applications  written for mozilla to run on it. Such as Fire/Thunderbird. You can already download many applications for Mozilla, including games, a few jabba clients, IRC client etc... Many manythings are possible with mozilla.

Remember its a platform. So you get many many wonderful things. AmigaOS would benifit much more from mozilla as a whole then just firebird.

BTW when i say we should port mozilla, im talking 1.5 or 1.6 because then, firebird and thunderbird would have become the main browser and mail clients for Moz.

Im guessing that when it is ported, they port anything in the mozilla code base the phoenix uses... This would include the new toolkit (the XPFE successor), which will also be used by thunderbird and prolly many applications. The thing is, their going to be be porting a lot of mozilla, so why not just finish it off. Just the main parts that allow us to run other moz apps.

I tend to think whats better long term, and thats what i think. Plus i dont share your despiration to get a new browser, as i use firebird on windows ...

But ill maintain, that, maybe if they could get firebird working first, and then concentrate on the rest of mozilla so that one can run the new mail client, the jabbaclients the games and everything else...

either way, its gota happen. Mozilla could end up toppling GNOME, KDE and Enlightenment... (eventually)
