Which one for A-XP?

Rigido · Post by **Rigido** » March 29th, 2004, 2:14 pm

I'm still using the "native" build as I read so many builds but there are someone that java/javascript doesn't work with...some builds are optimized for all of the CPUs...I don't know what O2 or O3, MMX, SSE, SSE2 means...so, please:
Is there somewhere a fast, (almost) stable and FULL working (I mean java, extensions and plugins) build for A-XP 2000+ CPU?

Thanks,
Rigido.

I am using BlueFyre's nightly with great results.

It is stable, and everything works.
I always use a new profile for each new buid I run.

I agree. I use BlueFyre's nightly and they are great.

Use something like http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php to find out exactly what your CPU supports. That works a lot better than guessing by speed or approximate age.

Or..you can try Moox's Athlon XP version, it is the fastest on my system so far (xp2700, 1 gig ram)

I'd use Moox's if java would work. But since he uses GCC to optimize his builds, java is broken.

i'm also using BlueFyre's builds, and ther are grate!

GrailKnight: is REALY needed to make a new profile??

when i change build I delete cache, and XUL file only, so i can keep cookies options and bookmarks,

how's your "update" procedure?

I don't know if mozjf's builds are optimized for Athlon-XP, but they generally work very nicely.

Task I like to use a new profile with a new build to test for errors with extensions.
I found if I use the same profile with a new build then find an extension not working
it is harder to track down what caused the breakage.

What I did to speed things up is made a backup folder that contains my passwords, bookmarks, plugins, and chrome tweaks.
I unzip the new build, make a profile, C&P the above mentioned and install my extensions. Done!

It takes me about 10 mins from new build, new profile, extensions, and theme install to get Firefox back up and running fully loaded with what I like.

I forgot to mention Task that if it does not work I have a full backup of my last stable Firefox to just drop back in place if the new build is non-functional. That takes 1 min.
Have a good night.

i see, in my case i only use simple extensions, so i think that will be no necesary

i apreciate your reply.. tnk

It's generally not absolutely necessary to create a new profile every time. I've been using the same profile for a long time, maybe even as far back as Phoenix. I'm too lazy to lose all my saved info. =)

But like GrailKnight said, I always make a complete backup first, and I always try a new profile if I do have any problems.
