I've argued before and I'll argue again: it is next to impossible to 'port' Mozilla or Firebird to the Amiga. Not within the mentioned timeframe, and not with the current bounty. It is too Unixy, and the Amiga with OS 3.9 and lower lacks too much features to make it happen. AmigaOS 4 is likely have some extra support, but even then it will be very, very difficult. The porting of the complex underlying memory, process and GUI management routines would be formidable and very difficult tasks on their own, never mind the whole package.
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.
