My thoughts? hm... "Need Kentucky Fried Chicken", "Us fatties have gotta eat", "One hour till Stargate SG-1", "My porn torrent just finished".
Oh, you meant about Intel Optimized Firefox... "Okay, cool... When can we get Whitebox Optimized OS X?" |

I'm going over to 2advanced.com to see if there's any difference with flash/sound loading |

It's an optimized build by DeerPark and it was released 2 days ago.
I'm sorry- but have you even bothered to read what was posted about those builds on that site? |

hahahah ... hit you? Nah- I'm not into violence ...
Alright, back to the topic- Flash runs beautifully, including sound- I've also noticed the web pages load much faster and smoother than the generic build. I'm keeping this! |

"I'm sorry, stop hitting me!" It is better, I'm sorry for doubting, oh master +grovel+ |

This is strange I can't run it, all I get is the icon bouncing in the dock and the menus but no window, tried both links.

It'd be nice if Firefox loaded as fast as Safari.

Are you sure you are installing the right build- intel and not ppc? You might want to uninstall the old firefox instead of installing over it. |

Still not working  I removed all traces of FireFox and rebooted before I tried this build but same thing. I will give it another try when I reinstall, I did the Quicktime update and it has caused a few sytem problems.

I had no issues with any application installation, including quicktime[update]/firefox [generic/deerpark build] |

Sweeeet! I was hoping someone would notice the speed at which the app launches & loads web pages... I guess pretty soon Safari will have something to worry about
 Thanks for the feedback! |

working good here. no hassle in the installation, no problems with my 8 extensions. It doesnt load faster than safari but it definitely render pages way faster than camino or safari, expecially on flash rich pages such as soccernet.com. Good find TeKKi!

Heh, I can see the menu bar for this app but the browser doesn't appear. I also deleted previouse firefox version and still browser does not appear. The only way to close it is to use "Force Quit". Mayebe there is a differece between firefoxy and aqua? Downloading Firefoxy now to test.
