Developer “tigerdog” has posted information about some plans for BeZilla development in the near future – in the form of a Firesign Theatre reference. As we posted earlier, new dependencies added to Firefox in the past year (Cairo, etc) have made it impossible to build the current development code under BeOS.

So tigerdog has decided to revisit some earlier “bleeding-edge” patches written in the days when the Firefox trunk would still compile in BeOS – since many of those patches were never committed or accepted to the trunk. From the BeZilla blog:

I will include tqh’s “lightweight” NSPR, streamlining of nsAppShell, mouse movement improvements and pretty much all of the enhancements that were backported and arrived in 2.0.0.8. When I create something useable, I’ll post to BeBits on the Bleeding Edge page.
