BlueFyre: W32 2004-03-08 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 (~7.80MB - zip)
The above build will work on systems that support the SSE instruction set ONLY.

[Note] Extracting will make a folder named Firefox

checkout start: Mon Mar 8 16:14:00 PST 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.

Got the download thing again, but I think it might have to do with the way the options are read between your build and the 03 build I had some someplace. Will try it with Abe's build or something.

Also, hum, your Icon is a bit messed up. I'm getting it viewed as a Fx document, instead of the real program icon.

Just an update for you. I think the problem I was having with your builds not opening on my system was that I would always do a fresh install. I tried to leave my previous profile and your latest build opens for me.

Like the previous poster said, the icon for it looks like a regular file icon not like a program icon. Also when checking the version of the build in Help/About it tells me this 20040309

I think the problem I was having with your builds not opening on my system was that I would always do a fresh install.

There was (is) a bug in Mozilla that will break Fx if there isn't a profile to start off with. It's all part of the migration that the devs are working on in converting over to a 'Firefox' folder instead of the original 'phoenix' folder for profiles. You most likely got hit with that bug it would seem.

btw -- I tested the download problem I was having with the latest nightly, couldn't reproduce it. It must have been something that changed between 03 and 06/07 builds.

Ahem, a 7-zip package would be 33% smaller

Anyone else not able to close tabs with this build?

I also can't create a new profile to test a fresh one. Won't set the folder to anything other than *

For me, the mouse-wheel won't scroll when the cursor is over certain elements with this build. I've not tried any other recent nightlies so I can't say whether it's specific to this build or not.
