[FX] PowerBook: 2005-07-16 [Trunk/OS X] (G4, O3, Altivec)

[drumsticks]

Looks like it is fixed But you probably knew that anyway...

EDIT: Now bug #299284 is causing build failures... You should know, you filed the bug...

[krmathis]

^ Yes, but it seems like I did not provide enough information to the developers.
Complete build log posted and Mento is on it...

powerbook,

have you seen madfox? it's an optimized build by a guy in china, i believe. just wondering if you knew the differences between the two optimized builds.

mgiannul. This madfox is totally unknown to me, so I have no idea what new features it contains.
I really dont care either.

[mgiannul]

hahaha

fair enough! keep up the good work.

Powerbook,

I know you are doing a great job! But hey, why don't we take a look at it. We have nothing to lose. If it's for the betterment of everybody, maybe we could adopt some of it's features. So far I don't like the icon. Middle click doesn't work. But I think it can render IE based web sites better.

[krmathis]

mark143 and mgiannul.
I wont stop you from testing the Madfox browser, but I will personally stay clear.

Why?
* I dont use release builds (Madfox 0.3.2 update 1 = Firefox 1.0.4 + some additional code).
* I follow the Trunk development tight.
* I provide G4 optimized Firefox Trunk builds to "the masses".
* I dont have the knowledge to port the Madfox specific source code to Firefox Trunk.
* Sites who dont work properly in Firefox, but work fine in IE, are broken. The website should be fixed, not the browser accessing them!

Thank you.

What ever you say boss!

What ever you say boss!

LOL

Feel free to give it a real test. Then if you feel there are features in it that you want in Firefox, post a bug report and let the developers decide.

This build rocks - I've been using it for weeks now, starting on day one, since I got my first Mac, ever

Anyways, there is only ONE thing that is absolutely ticking me off about this build, and if it was fixed, then I would be forever grateful

The dreaded bug listed here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289973

[krmathis]

Gary W. Nice to hear that you enjoy my builds!

I have placed my vote for bug 289973, thats all I can do.

My builds now include the 'Pretty Form Widgets' by phiw13.
While we wait for Josh Aas to port Cocoa widgets (link) to Firefox, I decided to add these to my builds.

Thank you Philippe!

Wow, I love the Pretty Form Widgets! Great job in implementing it! It was the first thing I noticed
