And so are 3.6.3s, a couple nights ago, actually. Enjoy.

Dear elfurbe,
I know you are not a theme builder; but if you could tweek the Awesomebar in 3.7x so the navigation buttons would stick on the right side when customized.
I use a GrApple theme for 3.7 and the Awesomebar works with it on the right side but it reverts back to the left when a new window is opened or on restart.
I stared moving the Navigation buttons to the right when I had a mouse without a scroll wheel and it just seems to be the way I am orientated now.
I have used other optimized builds and yours are the FASTEST and most stable I update daily and am just waiting for Mozilla to get plugins working on their 64 bit build.
Thank You for the years of great work!

ok, how exactly do I do I install this? I downloaded FX7450-3.6.2 and put something called Minefield in my Applications folder, but it just bounces in the dock twice when I try to open it.

I have an iMac G4 700MHz.

I think your work is genius but I didn't find anything in this thread about which build to use with my 1.8GHz (ppc970) processor that my iMac G5 uses.

Thanks!

I don't want to sound too snarky here, but the ones labeled "G5" are the ones you're looking for to use on your...G5. Try this one. As to your iMac G4 700MHz, the 7450 build was the right one, but I think you didn't pick the 3.6.2 version. The 3.6.x version is codenamed Namoroka, you must've picked a 3.7 build of some sort. Grab this one and see how it works out for you. When you open it, you should see a mounted disk called Namoroka with an app bundle in it also called Namoroka. Drag that to your Applications folder and open it up, see if that works.

So I had posted some builds labeled "3.6.4" which I believed were release builds, as they had created the FIREFOX_3_6_4_RELEASE tag in Mercurial. However, it would seem that they created the tag early, well before the actual release (since it still hasn't released to the public except as a beta) so I've taken them down. When they release 3.6.4, I'll roll new versions.

Sorry for the confusion, if there was any...

This trick doesn't seem to be working any more for the 3.7a5 Intel builds, any ideas?

Any help with turning off Compatibility check on this new version?

4.0b2 builds are up. I noticed when I was checking the tree for something else that b2 was a closed tree, had the pre removed and hadn't been modified since Tuesday, so I assume official 4.0b2s are incoming shortly. I know the branding images aren't working quite right, I'm looking into it. For now, enjoy the world bomb.

Alright, I managed to crank out a PGO-enhanced 64bit 4.0b2. There's no flash support in 64bit native. This is your fair warning, no flash. No way to get flash that I'm aware of. It's kind of a feature.

http://firefoxmac.furbism.com/builds/in ... -4.0b2.dmg

Try it out, let me know how it goes. I built it with march=nocona cause that's the closest thing to a Core 2 they have (march=native doesn't work at all, even though gcc4.2 is supposed to have it. Whatevs.).
