How about  http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/firefox/index.html

Or more generally  http://www.software.hp.com

HP provides a decent selection of software for HP-UX 11.00 and up,
including Firefox, Mozilla, Gnome (an old version), GCC, ipfilter,
Apache 2, perl, etc.

Now patching HP-UX is an entirely different story - with my limited
playing around with HP-UX, patching has struck me as the most
"difficult" part of HP-UX.

I've been trying lately to resurrect my C110 that was running HP-UX
11.00 but now has trouble booting. I'd love to pick up a
newer/less-abused PA-RISC machine, but there's no extra in the budget
for it...
