johnniecarcinogen Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Actually it's still in alpha. I pulled the source today from the trunk and it is 'firefox 3a7pre'. It seems pretty stable and little things like the 'download location window' and the 'refresh icon' seem to display better in Aqua. It uses a little more memory but seems pretty fast. I built this for my Athlon64 machine and if anyone wants to try it here it is: AMD Athlon64 firefox3a7pre.athlon64.dmg I used the following build options for optimization: ac_add_options --with-pthreads ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --enable-extensions=default,xforms,schema-validation ac_add_options --disable-freetype2 ac_add_options --enable-single-profile ac_add_options --disable-tests ac_add_options --enable-optimize="-O3 -march=athlon64 -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -msse2 -mmmx -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" ac_add_options --disable-shared ac_add_options --disable-profilesharing ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable-update-packaging I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
