johnniecarcinogen Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) I compiled firefox 1.5 (for extension compatibility) to takel advantage of i686 processors with SSE2 running OS X. For users of 10.4.3 and prior, you must either remove (or replace with the 10.4.4 intel) /Library/"Internet Plug-Ins"/Flash Player.plugin" or use the flashblock extension until you get the new plugin. EDIT: 10.4u = http://www.mytempdir.com/382473 8f1111= http://www.mytempdir.com/380674 plugins disabled, 10.4u = http://www.mytempdir.com/382408 btw anyone with any configuration requests (LDAP, SVG, calendar integration, etc) let me know.

domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks! Is this from the current Mozilla nightly build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnniecarcinogen Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Thanks! Is this from the current Mozilla nightly build? no, nightly's are usually from the trunk which is currently 1.6a. I used the official 1.5 source code pulled via CVS because that is what the majority of extensions developed or in developement are designed to be compatible with.

johnniecarcinogen Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 yes it is relevant. rest assured this is the current "1.5" source as of 1.12.06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks for clearing things up. There are so many ports on mozilla there days we don't know exactly what sources they are from. We should have created a thread for which source whether Camino, Firefox, Thunderbird. Then dumped all ports under the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urig-herb Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I compiled firefox 1.5 (for extension compatibility) to take full advantage of i686 processors with SSE2 running OS X.

jfn Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I will try this out tonight. Has anyone been using the 10.4.4 Flash plugin? Does it work? I have *never* been able to get Flash to work natively on my machine... this would be terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 As far as I know, it works well here. I really like the Firefox icon. the dear park icon got really old. One minor issue is when you scroll up and down a site. It's just too fast.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 In case I forget, head on over to the firefox themes site and download some really nice OS X themes. Grab the GrApple ones. You wont regret it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works great in Safari, that's all Apple cares about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnniecarcinogen Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) What's the difference to the offical build from http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mac:Intel ? Most notably, I enabled prebinding and used processor optimizations. It took me a whilke to find the ones that worked best on my machine. Here is my .mozconfig if anyone is interested: . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/users/****/Desktop/1.5r mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-j4 ac_add_options --enable-compile-environment ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=mac ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --enable-official-branding ac_add_options --disable-freetype2 ac_add_options --enable-strip ac_add_options --enable-strip-libs ac_add_options --enable-static ac_add_options --disable-shared ac_add_options --enable-prebinding ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O3 -march=i686 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer" Note I did not use the 10.4u sdk this time so it probably requires 8f1111 or at least 10.4.3...

docangle Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 glufx, how do you use adblock, I have tried doing what you said, but flash enabled sites are still causing firefox to crash? I would like to not remove the flash player plugin if possible (when I do, firefox is working.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) doc, run a search on "flashblock". All was well untill i browsed my favorate site and it crashed: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2289151 Flashblock enabled java disabled Can anyone confirm? edit: I found the problem. Some type of java scripting was crashing ff. disable java script in ff will not crash it., damn time to find that no scripting extention.

domino Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I just found an extension with really interesting features. It's called NoScript. In the advanced options, you have the option to disallow flash, along with java scripting, as I intended. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to not remove the flash player plugin if possible (when I do, firefox is working.) I just added http://*.swf as a filter. Just get flashblock, it's easier. I'm only using adblock because I don't like having a ton of plugins loaded. If I can do both(flash and ads) with one I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnniecarcinogen Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 I added an optimized version without plugin support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glufx Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) Could you have it look somewhere else for the plugins? That way we could copy over what we want and not have to worry about killing flash in safari. Just an idea, IDK how easy it would be to do.

domino Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) jc, I only find one thing annoying with your build. When you click on the [X], firefox completely closes. I need it to just stay hidden running on the dock like it's suppose to. Can you make that happen? Damn, my bad. I just remembered why it was doing that. it's due to one of the extensions. Sorry about that. thanks Edited January 14, 2006 by domino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Good news! myzar posted a link to a new build of firefox. Another good news is browsing sites containing heavy java script doesn't crash it anymore, for example espn.com. I might add that flash work as well http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mac:Intel http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...001&hl=firefox# Edited January 17, 2006 by domino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urig-herb Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) I might add that flash work as well http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mac:Intel Does flash really work? I tried http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ and it doesn't work there.
