Bezilla: Mozilla for BeOS

Project Goal

The Bezilla Project is a continued effort to bring Mozilla/Firefox to the BeOS platform. The primary goal of this project is to ensure that the BeOS and its successors, including but not limited to Haiku and ZETA, have a mainstream free web browser that conforms to modern open web standards.
