I mean, the opera browser running on the 77'device is totaly different from the one running over a linux desktop, that's different of those running on symbians, and on win-desktops, and on winCE, and so on. This isn't definitly what mozilla wants at all. The same sourcebase runs over all this boxes above (except, Symbian so far).
Well, So there are good and not-so-good issues about this choice of mozilla regarding portability.

that's absolutily true. I hope you can 'rm' opera from your /usr/whatever soon

I see a lot of money involved between these 2 giants

FYI you sounded surprised that opera would crash - www.bge.com takes it out reliably, at least with plugins and js enabled. (In other news.. looking forward to getting some form of moz running on this thing. I do my rss reading with gregarius (http://www.gregarius.net) and opera does Bad Things with this AJAX app.)
