Firefox doesn't really look like a native app on any OS. And with good reason. You are aware that firefox uses it's own user interface library code on each supported platform and as such has it's own OS independent look-and-feel, right?


This is true, however it normally feels a little more native than it currently does on the Amiga. For example, the menus at the top of the window will feel right at home on Windows or Linux, but the Mac port uses the OSX native menu system (i.e. at the top of the screen) and the preference window etc. use native GUI elements. Maybe it's on the way some time in the future, which is fine. I'd much rather it was running fast and stable before they start doing OS integration like that...

Yep, and for now, as I said, I'm sure the priority is to get it actually working reliably before they need to bother with superficial stuff like that. I'm sure it'll happen, but I'd prefer a fully working version with Linux-type menus than a non-working version with Amiga menus.

Anyway, I think I read somewhere that the Amiga menu system didn't support enough features to do the Firefox menus properly... Maybe we'll get new menus in OS4.2 ;)
