See:

 "June 16, 2004 Firefox 0.9 has been released. 
    Zipfile:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.9/contrib/firefox-os2-0.9.zip
    Installation Instructions:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/#install
    Requires a libc0.5 based version of the GCC runtime library.

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/

Firefox is a speedy, full-featured browser that makes browsing more
efficient than ever before. More information about Firefox is available."

This is a good example of where someone could start helping the  Mozilla 
for OS/2 project.

I did very little testing of this release, but I noticed some OS/2
specific issues.

For instance, the extensions dialog looks different on OS/2.

If people could start beating on this and find problems for other people
to look at, that would be great.

I'll post build instructions for firefox tomorrow if anyone wants to build
it.

This is NOT a static build (one big EXE) - I couldn't get that working on
OS/2.
