The newer AXP's support SSE2, I believe. You should be ok in installing it over, at this point.

Does that mean you can run it side by side with the regular 1.0 version??

Supposedly? Yes. That said, 1.0 Final couldn't read some changes that 1.0+ made to the profile and therefore didn't work for me during the initial testing.

You're not wrong there, I just downloaded the official nightly(CPU doesn't support SSE2) and it renders much quicker than 1.0 Final.

It's decidedly quicker than 1.0 final (P4 with HT, so it supports SSE2) but then so is the Netscape prototype (*Firescape*). Apparently you and the source of the prototype are doing something that the Firefox dev team didn't do with Firefox 1.0; otherwise, where is all the extra speed coming from?

When installing your builds over 1.0 final, how much cleaning do I need to do before hand? Can I just uninstall 1.0 final, or do I need to manually go in a delete all of the profiles folders, etc? Thanks

EDIT - I just deleted everything for a fresh start and installed your version. It's very speedy but why are some of the graphical elements different? The Firefox icon, for starters, but also the little puzzle piece which appears when there are components to intall on a web page (like flash). I'm a huge fan of the normal firefox graphical look - is there a way to either make your builds to look the same, or, more likely, how can I edit them myself? Thanks

I just backed up my profile and installed over 1.0 final and it worked great, the icon was probably changed by bangbang since the official nightlies have the normal one. The puzzle icon has been there for as long as I can remember.

Edit- Optimized builds are not allowed to use the official artwork, thats why it is different. :)

It's the use of the 1.8a6 engine from Mozilla. It's much faster than 1.7.

Thanks for the answer - all clear now.

Is there anyway to change it to the official artwork myself, or is that a no-no?

It has to be done pre-building.

I have it installed now..and you guys are right the page rendering is awesome. I did lose some extensions though. I lost spellbound for one (one I need badly), but it was well worth it for the added speed. And spellbound will work with it soon, just the author has to figure out how to fix it and still have it work on 1.0. Thanks bangbang023, awesome builds.

Please excuse any spelling mistakes till spellbound is working again :D

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
