BlueFyre: W32 2004-03-26 AthlonXP (O2/G7/GL/SSE, .NET 2003)

Post by BlueFyre »

These are all Trunk Builds.

I built Mozilla Firefox from CVS with MSVC++ .NET 2003 using some optimisations.

Optimised for Athlon XP and some newer Durons with SSE (-O2 -G7 -GL -arch:SSE):
http://pryan.org/firefox/BlueFyre/Firef ... GL-SSE.zip (~7.80MB - zip)
The above build will work on systems that support the SSE instruction set ONLY.

[Note] Extracting will make a folder named Firefox

checkout start: Fri Mar 26 06:40:40 PST 2004

I should note that I can't guarantee that these builds will work with Windows 95 (Microsoft has removed Windows 95 as a target platform on their .NET 2003 version of development tools), but they will work with Windows 98/NT4 or better, and probably on Windows 95 too.

You can find a copy of these builds (and my older builds) on pryan's mirror:
http://pryan.org/firefox/BlueFyre

My .mozconfig is as follows:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O2 -G7 -GL -arch:SSE"
ac_add_options --enable-static
ac_add_options --disable-shared

My builds have the following preference set:
pref("general.useragent.vendorComment", "BlueFyre");

I've included a copy of my .mozconfig in the build folder itself.
For more on what the optimisation switches do see this link:

Thanks again BlueFyre.
I will install and test it in the morning after some shut eye.
I am curious as to how many bug fixes you have done in the last two builds.

Copy and Pasted into new build my swf plugins, search plugins, passwords, and bookmarks before creating new profile.
Startup is 3 seconds faster from your previous build.
All 19 extensions are working-Ditched External Apps Buttons due to duplicate buttons.
Graphics rendering is crisper.
Java and media working.
Single installed theme for now works (Fireworld).
Thanks.
