Default Howto install firefox on RISC6000-43P under AIX4.3.3.0-11

Hi,
I have a little problem. I need to install another browser than netscape to
ensure better usability. I try mozilla 1.4, but it's so slow that nobody
can work on it.
Now I will try to use firefox 0.8. I have yet to compile it, because there
is no install package or binary for aix4.3 on the net.
Everbody who has done this before can you please recommend me a step-to-
step-tutorial or link to a website where I can find help?

Or can you recommend another browser?

Thank you for your help.

Good luck, it can be *painful* to compile firefox on AIX, especially
if you don't have those GNU package installed yet.

I admit I tried but failed. However, some nice guy put a binary
on our server so I can use it now.

Can I use this binary, too?
Or can you give me the email of the guy who put the binary on your server.
So that I can ask him for help.

It's from my company's internal file server, I can't share it.
