AIX and OS/2 are systems developed by IBM and IBM employs some
Mozilla developers.

AIX and Irix are Unix systems (OS 9 is not), just like Linux and 
Solaris. The code doesn't need so many changes as it would if
Mozilla was still developed for Classic Mac OS.

I know some people who do. ;)

AIX and Irix are very important in corporate environments.
And, as I said, IBM cares about Mozilla more than Apple, so
they even port it to the maybe-obsolete OS/2...

If you want to run 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 or *bird on a Mac, you have to
upgrade to Mac OS X or Linux/PPC (such as YellowDog or Mandrake).

The latter is better if you use some older New-World-Macs that
are to slow to run OS X.

The unofficial 1.3 is still the best browser for OS 9
(when compared to really old IE 5.1x and Opera 6).
