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.
