The Mozilla Foundation has established a page on their Wiki that has the latest Intel Mac builds for their most popular applications; Firefox, Tunderbird and Camino. They also announced full support for PowerPC and Intel builds, and upheld their comitment to supporting Jaguar and Panther versions on PowerPC via the lipo process; a tool designed to allow different methods of compiling applications.

 

Lipo holds much potential for specialized Mac development, the lipo process will eventually be used to allow Mac developers to use Intel-released compilers for Intel code, while still using GCC3/GCC4 for PowerPC applications, thus giving each platform the best performance possible while still remaining a Universal Binary.

I just downloaded both camino and firefox from this link and neither work on my pc. they will not launch at all. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

 

I got this fixed by installing maxxuss 10.4.2 patch. Working great now.

Is that the v0.5c? I have applied that patch on my 10.4.1 generic dvd install that has since been upgraded to '10.4.3'. Safari and most everything else work great with flash but DeerPark/Firefox nor Camino even load.

no, the 10.42 patch is different from 0.5c.

 

0.5c was first

then the 10.42 patch came out, which i never applied

then the 10.4.3 update patch came out, which includes the 10.4.2 patch within i believe, which i applied atop 0.5c atop release1 dvd.

 

now, for me, flash does NOT work in 2.02. i get previous garbled photo artifacts where the flash movies should be

Most likely you have enabled QE.

Try disable QE and you may see the flash to work

You may also want to try using Rosetta mode with QE enable. I am expecting a panic while you try to browse flashed website.

i have the 10.4.1 userland update and maxxuss' 10.4.2 patch. i cannot get the deer park distro to load. i click on the icon, it bounces in the dock and then stops. the older version of deer park does work. any ideas of how to proceed?

Same for me, maybe we need the "true" 10.4.3.?
