Firefox on Palm Pilot??

[bigblockmatt]

I have a Palm TX and i am wondering if there is a way to get Firefox to work on it. I have tried using Portable Firefox, but it doesnt seem to work (though it could be user error rather than technical problems...)

Any body know if it is possible?

Well I would of said that it wouldn't work due to the fact that it was designed for PC use via a USB stick, but it appears that someone got it working on their palm from their SD card (using Softicks Cardexport). However this was 2 years ago, so it is entirely possible that the current version has been changed so that it no longer works any more. How it worked before is beyond me >_<

The closest you can get to Firefox on a PPC is minimo (a miniture mozilla browser) but unfortunately for you, it is Win Mobile only.

There was some talk about someone working on porting minimo for a palm (supposedly he was already using it on his) but nothing that i have seen verified anywhere.

I caught that too, but then in another thread (might have been same forums) they said the dude working on it had stopped.

I think you should be asking how it holds up against blazer!

well, i think anything other than blazer would be an upgrade...
