Is there a current version of Firefox available for OS/2 V4?

Thanks!

Yes, it exists. But have you tried the latest SeaMonkey integrated
suite, the successor to Mozilla? Try Peter's build
<http://weilbacher.org/Mozilla/builds.html>.

Indeed there is:
http://www.mozilla.org/ports/os2/

You might want to take a look at this site too:

I got the OS/2 version of Firefox downloaded and unzipped, however
when trying to run it I received the message of:
SYS1804 The system cannot find LIBC05.

Does this require EMX to run?

Thanks!

Take a look at http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/Warpzilla.html. There you
will find a link to libc05 which is required to run Firefox. You will
also find a link to ipluginw.dll which is required to use Java.

Thank you. Where would the LIBC05 module reside?

I take it you didn't go to the web site he listed or didn't look too
hard.

Permit me to rephrase the question. Where on OS/2 is libc05 to
reside, what directory?

In any directory that's listed in your LIBPATH line in config.sys.
