This is the final release of the Firefox 2.0 Webbrowser for AIX 4.3.3.


Normally I would suggest migrating to Firefox 3.0 but this won't be supported on AIX 4.3.3 without building the whole bunch of predependencies of GNOME 2.16 for your own. So these are the final builds with GTK1 runtime.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 for AIX 4.3.3
The Common Mode build works on every machine. Tested on AIX 4.3.3 ML11, AIX 5.1 ML9, AIX 5.2 TL10 and AIX 5.3 ML5.

A RPM installer of the above build is available on Michael Perzl's AIX OpenSource site.

Optimized for specific target CPU types:
Only use specific optimized builds if you are sure your RS/6000 CPU type is compatible! Else coredumps are possible and Firefox will crash.
