[FX] bangbang023: 07-01-30 [Trunk/Win32](O2/GAL)

[Hurmoth]

are the trunk builds actually worth using, or are there too many annoying bugs?

The trunk builds from bangbang023 are much better then 1.0 Final in my opinion ;)

[steamfish81]

Is it just me, or is SwitchProxy extension broken for the latest Trunk build? It installed OK, but cannot add any proxies...

I tried installing from extensionmirror and the author's homepage...

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Okay bangbang023, i have been reading about your builds for ages, so ill try one for once.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Oh well, failed miserably, crashed straight away.

Good work though bangbang :yes:

[Veedems Veteran]

you probably don't have a CPU that supports SSE2.

Sorry for the dumb question, but am i ok just installing this over the top of my already installed Firefox 1.0?

Also, when u say SSE2, thats all AMD XP processors and newer right?

Thnx in advance :unsure:

[Veedems Veteran]

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

Oh well, thnx for the reply, but after a little research, seems my processor doesnt do SSE2, prolly somat new with the 64bit ones, mines only a 2600+ :/

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.

[IceDogg]

Thanks bangbang023, will you let us know when it works side by side? I would like to run your newer builds, but I want to have an offical release too, just in case.

Running smoothly and render much more quickly than 1.0 final.

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.

[Veedems Veteran]

I won't know when they run side by side as I have ditched 1.0 as soon as my builds started working again.

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?

[topher1078]

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. :)

[topher1078]

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

It has to be done pre-building.

12/17 is out

[IceDogg]

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

[NYCBetaSte]
