I just uploaded neko_firefox3.0.19_beta2.tardist to incoming and send a PM to nekonoko, it will probably show up in beta soon. I made a mistake with the version no in the first beta, please install it with set nerveroverride on.

This version is a gcc -Ofast build, it contains a current patch and updated release notes. It still has the svg bug. I hope I can fix the bug at the weekend.

If you have a working build environment with working autoconfig, you should be able to build your own firefox3. The release notes contain detailed build instructions. Also a mips pro build is possible without much work, Dexter1 prepared that for us three years ago. Have fun with it...

Boy, they shoulda stuck to gtk. This thing makes all text look like some version of courier :(

But it does work and many pages that render badly with flopsy 2 render better with flopsy 3. It's not tested enough to know about

but we can hope for the best :)

thanks, diegel.

edit; I have to ask : who came up with this gtk2 shit, anyway ? It's slower than molasses in January and the fonts are basically worthless. They are as close to illegible as possible, while still making dark spots on the page that pretend to be writing. The gtk2 "developers" should be castrated in retaliation for this abortion.

Here's a major reason why Linux will never "make it" on the desktop. The people doing this stuff are blind.

It's even uglier in real life ... time to get to work with userChomeCss. Oh well. If it doesn't crash every time you open a weird page, it'll be worth it.

Just a short update: I fixed the svg bug. I also build a mips pro -O3 build, that is slower than the gcc build. I will upload a final package for a beta test on Sunday.

Maybe it's all the cans of Jolt they drink and it looks perfectly normal to them.

I think they're drinking more than Jolt but in the absence of Martin Steen, who has real taste, I put this together. It is definitely not perfect but gives a better Irix look. Hope it can give people a little bit of a start on making this thing presentable.

Not sure what's causing this but it's repeatable :

Code:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what():  std::bad_alloc
moz_run_program[36]: 1706 Abort
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what():  std::bad_alloc
moz_run_program[36]: 1734 Abort
urchin 18% firefox3
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'St9bad_alloc'
what():  std::bad_alloc
moz_run_program[36]: 1759 Abort
urchin 19% firefox3
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what():  std::bad_alloc
moz_run_program[36]: 1786 Abort
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what():  std::bad_alloc
moz_run_program[36]: 1843 Abort

Got to sfgate.com and open a bunch of stories in tabs ... I know, the reporting is pretty bad but shouldn't crash the browser :)

diegel : do you have any plugins ? Normally I use no-script, thought I'd take the opportunity to check for updates. Not so good ...
Code:
urchin 22% firefox3
moz_run_program[36]: 1868 Memory fault
urchin 23% firefox3
moz_run_program[36]: 1893 Memory fault
urchin 24% firefox3
moz_run_program[36]: 1923 Memory fault

It goes through the motions, opens the windows, etc etc but crashes the browser if you attempt to do much more than look.

This might be an https:// thing ? Sorry for the blur, it's resized from an odd size.

Oh weird. I tried to make the url bar an irix color but it doesn't work in the main window. But in the "uploading the file" windows, it's the Irix pinkish. Strange.

edit : Checked around some, this appears to have something to do with SSL. Checked the preferences -> advanced -> encryption settings and both SSL 3.0 and TLS are checked. Then ran a test page, apparently I have a problem with SSL. Looked at < about: > didn't really see anything (such as --disable-SSL or any other obvious clues)

Is this just me or is it more widespread ?

The older flop does work with "secure" https:// pages ... (I have no idea why xxx.mozilla.org would have to be "secure". Do they have money in there ? )

about:config security < enable-ssl-2 > does not fix the problem (at least not so far. Have not rebooted yet, too many tabs open)

@diegel - THANKS! considering how long it's had pie-in-the-sky status, breaking the FF 3.0 barrier is a major accomplishment.

Like hamei I use a few security-enhancing add-ons with FireFox. Here's links to a few FireFox 3.0.19 compatible add-ons just in case anyone else would like to try them out.
