Like Tomazkid said, you could join the Amizilla team. They are making progress and would welcome any developers that are interested. Here is their sourceforge page. Also, of interest is the campaign page.

@all
If you're interested in seeing FireFox ported, consider donating on the Amizilla campaign page. It's a mammoth task and the developers need as much encouragement as possible.

I hate the idea of having to find a way to run X ontop of the AmigaOS (like openoffice for Mac has to do).


There is an X-windows server for Amiga. OpenOffice.org uses the native GUI now on the Mac.


And using an X-windows server is a good stepping stone towards a fully native port. It's more than just the GUI that needs to be ported. Using an X-server as an interim allows you to get the rest of the app running natively without having to worry about the GUI. The GUI can then be done later, once the rest of the app works.
