New build is up! (2004-01-20)

BigFire · Post by **BigFire** » January 20th, 2004, 2:56 pm

The new build got rid of bug <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229241">Bug 229241</a>. The using the middle mouse button on the bookmarks, and the bookmark window does not drop away problem. This behavior surface after 12-16 build (which is one reason I was stucked on that build for all this time, it's a show stopper for me).

Stipe,
Thanks for the new build, but it has a bug that makes it somewhat unusable. I could not get it to load up unless I was loading a web page that's on my computer. In other words, clicking on the exe file or a shortcut would start it loading and then it would unload itself. I know, I could just load up a local web and then go from there, but it's not supposed to work that way.

You might want to note that your build also works on P3, Athlon64 and many Celerons as well. Although they're not specifically optimised for these chips, its better than having no build at all for them.

Does this build have an installer, or is it just a self-extracting file? I don't want an installer version yet.

No installer, just a 7zip executable that unpacks into the directory of your choice.
I like them this way, as I have a 56K connection (really 38.6 to 40) and it's faster than the "temporarily" non-existant official nightlies.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

New build! (2004-01-24).

I am using /O2 optimization switch instead of /Oxs, and it seems to be approximately 15% faster in scragz' test.

Indeed it is, I get the same outcome... on scragz' test page.

We need a representative test to lift this testing business above the level of pseudo science though. The result of tests run on scragz' page are too specific and could in fact be very misleading.

Thanks for the build though. It's... very promising.

You are right. We should make a larger test that will measure the performance of "everything" in firebird: rendering, javascript, startup, ...

fast build indeed, but i can't get tbe working with this on (error on startup), so i had to go back. :/ with scragz' 'MozillaFirebird-20040124-0347-Oxs-G7-SSE2.7z.exe' no problems at all..

That's strange. :-k

I wonder if it has got anything to do with the /O2 switch?
Did anyone else try TBE with this build?
Does it work with my earlier /Oxs builds?

Iam not using TBE but it doesnt work for me either getting error on startup

Kasteo · Post by **Kasteo** » January 24th, 2004, 8:47 pm

I don't have any problem install this build on my system, no TBE or any other extensions. It works perfectly fine. But after test the page for render speed, it seem SSE2 flag on scragz build is running faster on my system(Celeron 2.4GHz), so I switch to scragz SSE2 optimized build.

What error?
