Progress on Mozilla Amiga Port
Mozillazine writes James “Kovu” Russell sent us a link to an Amiga.org article about the progress being made porting Mozilla to the Amiga, a project known as AmiZilla. According to the update, NSPR is “basically functionally complete” and XPCOM “seems to be mostly functioning”. The AmiZilla team first plan to port Mozilla to Amiga systems with 68k processors, before looking at native ports to the more modern AmigaOS 4 (which runs on PowerPC chips) and AmigaOS variants such as MorphOS and AROS.
Various projects to port Mozilla to the Amiga have come and gone over the years; MozillaZine first reported on the launch of an Amiga port in late 1998. The AmiZilla project dates back to 2003 when DiscreetFX started a bounty for the first person to port Mozilla to AmigaOS.
