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


Recommended Posts

bangbang, does the compile revert every night? or are you just downloading and fixing the builds for everyday. i noticed you post the date, does that mean you fixed that version for that day?

My builds use the updated source. There is one trunk into which all updates and fixes are applied. I download from the trunk and then compile that newly downloaded source code using the optimizations.

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 Here is a good place to read up on that stuff. Right now they are mostly doing bug fixes from merging two different branches of Firefox together. So, nothing all that new is being added right now. fact some dailys barely have one fix added. Like here http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=193045

Can I just install the new build everyday, or is there something I am supposed to do with the .mozconfig too?

P.S. Thanks for putting in the effort to do this for the FX and Neowin Community.

In the past it messed up sometimes to install new over the top of old.. it was better to uninstall FireFox first then install the new version back. That's the way I still do it. I don't know if it's still necessary. But you don't have to worry you don't lose anything by doing that. It keeps your bookmarks, extensions, tweaks and everything.. as long as they are compatible with the newer version.

I had to reinstall the smoothwheel and IEview extension;  should I expect to reinstall some extensions for every new build?

You shouldn't have to worry about those anymore as long as you are only clearing out your program directory and installing the daily builds new. Leave the profile alone.

Not sure if you want people to submit bugs here, but

Sometimes when I start Firefox now, I get an error message, which says:

"The procedure entry point ?NS_NewGenericModule2@@YAIPAUnsModuleInfo@@PAPAVnsIModile@@@Z could not be located in the

dynamic link library xpcom.dll."

I hit ok, it pops up again with the same message, I hit ok again, then Firefox starts and runs fine.

P.S. Thanks again, its is running noticeably faster.

Ehhrm... I used the 1/2 build up until yesterday, and I'm not sure if it was something I misconfigured or something but if I'd click a download, it just would load forever... If I'd go to the url with IE it started the download immediately, while FF never downloaded it at all...

Could this be a problem with the build itself or something I did wrong?

It works fine now I did a complete removal of firefox and copied the important parts out of my profile and pasted them into a new one... (build 1/6 atm)

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
