BlueFyre: W32 2004-04-17 AthlonXP (O2/G7/GL/SSE, .NET 2003)

[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 (~7.50MB - zip)
http://pryan.org/firefox/BlueFyre/Firef ... -GL-SSE.7z (~5.5MB - 7z)
The above build will work on systems that support the SSE instruction set ONLY.

[Note] Extracting will make a folder named Firefox

checkout start: Sat Apr 17 10:50:18 PDT 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.

Is it just me or do extensions sort alphabetically now.

There is also a bug it affects all builds as far as I know:
240811: Extension manager shows empty download window and doesn't install extension

Unfortunately I've had the same problems with this build as I have with every build past 20040227... actually the same problems I've had in the official builds as well:

1. Saved password info doesn't show.

2. The login forms for various sites don't work. Either the 'Submit' button gets darkened and doesn't go any further, or the page to log in just stalls and won't work.

I've so far experienced these problems with Tribe.net, Neopets and my banking site.
