Amiga & AROS AmiKit 1.3.0 has been released. "We are very proud to announce the AmiKit now supports modern icon formats. This is the first time the OS3.x based environment is able to show and use PNG, dual PNG and OS4 icons. Moreover, Directory Opus Magellan II (included in AmiKit) is able to use them too." Indulge yourself in the screenshots, boys and girls.

clearly how much Amiga is lagging behind the times.

I was surprised when I read that they still don't have a FireFox port.

This is not the Amiga. This is the AmiKit. AmigsOS4, MorphOS and AROS have full support for PNG. This article is about a piece for software primarily for AmigaOS 3.x.

Firefox isn't particularly wanted on the Amiga-platforms. They have their own projects and POSIX-applications are not particularly wanted, because they are un-Amigan.

SkyOS have a Firefox port but is nowhere near as stable as MorphOS or AmigaOS. There is btw. a browser for AmigaOS and MorphOS based on KHTML. Is that good enough for you?

Running inside an emulator. Many Amigans develop applications under emulators. FireFox under AmiKit is possible.

Firefox isn't particularly wanted on the Amiga-platforms. They have their own projects and POSIX-applications are not particularly wanted, because they are un-Amigan.

The AmiZilla has a bounty at 10K$ for FireFox. We can safely deduce that Amigans want a more modern browser.

Yes but it's nowhere near complete.
