@tfrieden Did the current build works with network already ? I mean you can time urls and load pages ? (i think everyone in interest about some screenshoot with some "heavy loaded" and modern page :) ).
ps. how fast current build ? I mean how fast it runs ?
We miss only a close gadget on the tabs, and a few little things on the UI (for example the AmigaOS style menus) but for the rest it looks almost perfect
The presence of close buttons on the tab depends on the theme used. This theme doesn't have any. We hope to make a more Amiga-specific theme at one point (if we ever figure out how that works ;))
Seriously, if you do want to contact me write me a mail. You're more likely to get a reply then.
Network support is in, but there was a problem with a race condition where two threads try to gethostbyname() simultaneously, we're going to replace that by a re-entrant version.
Speed is a non-issue at this point. The build produces tons of debug output, so don't ask for any speed measuring.

@Rogue People spoke about FF to Amiga for centuries I reckon (Amizilla anyone?) and here we are already at this point after a very short while! Mega thumbs up!!!

I just asked whether network support was done over on AW.net, but see that you've answered it here already. With Gecko working and networking implemented, do you essentially have a complete initial port? Any major features that are still to do? Or is it a case of eliminating bugs, etc.?

Hehe. True, especially if that debug output is redirected to a serial port.

The Widget part isn't complete yet. There are a few things to do still (for example, popup windows that move with their parent). Networking had its share of problems too, like I pointed out (gethostbyname not being reentrant), we still have a while to go.

And several thousand lines too. The IntuiMessage dumping alone is already gigantic.

Eheh I want notice all XUL applications have this "totally skinnable" feature, so...

I've seen XULRunner screenshot, have you planned to port all XPCOM modules and so all Mozilla Framework? I hope We can write many modern applications with Mozilla Framework and to gain other applications just commons on other platforms
Awesome, thank you very much for this great effort

I like the original Firefox theme, expecially the buttons, so please don't touch it (or almost make also other themes as a choice)
Windows and Linux use a slightly different theme because they use native widgets, i.e. some of the buttons for example are rendered using GDK on Linux. They use something called nsINativeTheme that takes over some of the rendering. We don't have that (yet?) so it renders using the default Firefox look.
In any case, you will be able to use any theme you like that is not depending on a specific OS.

Aniway on Firefox PC/Mac/Linux close gadgets are already there, I don't know why isn't present on your actual core source
See above. The default theme only shows the close buttons if you hover the mouse over them. Depending on the Linux distro you might be using, the default theme might be modified to fit into the Look and Feel of the desktop.

We're running a "normal" build of Firefox with app=browser,. This does build all of XPCOM; there are some additional components for e.g. Thunderbird, and there are others that do not build from the official source code at all (for example PyXCOM).
