AFAIK, it uses its own alien GUI, not Reaction, not MUI, not anything else native on any desktop platform...

There, I fixed it for you Mozilla has had it's own abstract UI components since, well, forever. On some systems, these can be wrapped around the native GUI and improve the sense of integration (more often than not, it's just themed that way). BOOPSI, with it's slightly unusual dispatch engine and support for runtime-defined classes etc. isn't always the easiest UI to wrap around.

So *IT IS* using an Amiga Native UI, and not its own?

Not quite sure how you interpreted my post that way. It is using its own UI components (someone please correct me if that's not the case). I simply pointed out the simple fact that it does this on most, if not all, platforms. On some systems, the system-dependent layer may implement the UI components using those provided by the OS. I doubt if that would be the case here as BOOPSI based gadgets can be awkward to wrap.

Jose asked if it used MUI or Reaction, and I answered neither, it's using its own, alien GUI that's not native to Amiga. You felt the need to correct this for some reaso...n

I clarified it. You make it sound as if the "alien" non-amiga GUI is somehow a (negative) feature only of the OS4 port. It isn't. It uses it's own UI components no matter which platform it is running on. There is an underlying, cross-platform portability layer upon which the browser and other mozilla products are built. Firefox's UI may look more "native" on other operating systems, but more often than not, that's just appropriate skinning.
