There will be a BONE-only version of mozilla available to BONE beta testers on 
the next BONE beta cycle.  Non-BONE binaries on BONE machines is not a 
supported option.

I'm sure the problems could be resolved, but I only have enough spare time to 
dedicate towards making a BONEified mozilla rather than fixing problems with 
the old networking stack.  Those with spare time can submit patches as long as 
it doesn't break networking for those without BONE.

Workaround:  Switch back to the old networking stack using setnetserver or wait 
for a BONEified mozilla in the near future.

Oh.  If it wasn't clear from above, mozilla currently won't work under BONE  
even if I were to produce a version that links against the new BONE libraries.

I have BONEified mozilla binaries, but due to a small bug in current BONE 
builds mozilla won't work.  The bug is reported to Be, and I expect the next 
beta release will have the fixes that allow mozilla to run under BONE.

So, sit tight until the next beta release.  Assuming no other bugs in non-
mozilla code we'll have a version of mozilla for BONE. (which will work 
*better* than mozilla for the old networking stack)

Please change this bug to WONTFIX.  There will be a version of mozilla for BeOS 
that will work on the new networking stack (BONE) available separately.

OK marking WONTFIX based on Matthews comments
