I am trying to update firefox and thunderbird and seamonkey on my IBM AIX 5.3/7.1 systems.

Trying to find the latest version that works on my system.

Environment: 

  IBM pSeries hardware (Power 4 and Power 6) running AIX 5.3 and AIX 7.1.

IBM latest version is 3.6.26. Really need a newer version. Having problems at a number of web sites.

Anyone know where I can find a newer executable binary? Or the latest source with the instruction on how to build firefox on my system using gcc 4.7.2?

Firefox 3.5.19 is the last and final supported release of the Firefox 3.5.x branch. There will be no newer Firefox for AIX

I do not understand the comment. I am currently using firefox 3.6.28 (Third Party). IBM has released firefox 3.6.26.

"There will be no newer firefox for AIX" I did not realize the mozilla.org has created firefox just for non-Unix systems. I used to download the source tree and compile and install it on my system. Stopped doing that when I could get it from a third party and/or IBM.

Is it mozilla.org policy to NOT SUPPORT IBM AIX, HP HP/UX and Oracle/Sun Solaris (aka - Standard compliant UNIX)? What a change in direction. From a browser created for the UNIX environment to one that NO LONGER SUPPORTs the UNIX environment. So SAD... SInce the IBM, HP and Oracle/Sun has no other borwser to compete with firefox and/or seamonkey.
