Not a big deal.

I have tried everything and no joy.
It might be my OS and the way I have it tweaked.
Not the first build that did not fire up.
I will of course try your next build when it becomes available.

I am sorry that you couldn't get it working. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

Build for 3/19 is up. It is an early release because of obligations that Ihave today. Hopefully it works for everyone this time around. It feels a bit lighter to me than yesterdays build. I have included 2 patches, one to add "print" in the right click menu for webpages and one to make the right click menu for bookmarks actually work. I am not the author of the patches.

I tried and tried to get your latest build (3-19) to run.

I deleted all Firefox files and cleaned my registry as I always do to test builds and it still refuses
to start. I can not even get a Create Profile window.

I ended up installing this build and it is running perfectly.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040318 Firefox/0.8.0+ (BlueFyre)

Any suggestions bangbang as I would like to try out your latest build as I really liked the 3/17 build you did and wanted to see the print feature just to give it a whirl.

The only thing I can think of is the SSE2 opts that I use and bluefyre doesn.t Unfortunately I have to run out now. If anyone else experiences problems or has any idea what the hell is going on with my build and grailknights machine, please post it here.

Thank you bangbang. Your build is fast on my pc and is working fine :)

One request:

Pls include msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll in your future releases? Thanks.

It is the SSE2 that is stopping the start process.
I should have known yet I had no problems with some past SSE2 builds.
I figure I got lucky with those so I did not suspect it until you mentioned it.
You were correct as to that being the problem.
If you get around to builing a FF w/out SSE2 that would be great.
Thanks.

March builds have been quite good and I really like this one. Print feature does work perfectly, same thing for the bookmark patch.
