[hdonk]

It's mine, all mine, Muahahahaha!


Actually, it's in repo.


Meep-meep.

 

[milkshake]

[Linux-SWAT]

Cool, but why not the 17.0 ?


(yeah, i know i begin to be really boring)

 

[Binky]

Hurry up! We need firefox 21 as a pnd. NOW!

Failed humour aside, well done for keeping up with all this porting lark. Full desktop firefox is great for muddling ungeeky friends

 

[PowerGod]

just downloaded the 15 ... :mellow: ... -_- ok... let's start AGAIN !! :wub:

 

[ekianjo]

I confirm this is a little bit faster than the 15.0 But not a huge difference as between 14.0 and 15.0.


But all updates are welcome !


I guess we'll get Firefox 17 pretty soon then ? Thanks hdonk!

 

[Loonie]

Flippin' fantastic! Good going, hdonk.

 

[FaeMinx]

Oh Jeez... Just finished downloading the last one yesterday- hadn't even put it on my Pandora yet!


But thanks a bunch! :lol:


... oh ...or should I just wait a couple days for 17? lol :rolleyes:

 

[Askarus]

Faaast.


Both, Hdonk and the new Fire Fox.

 

[elwing]

hum, I'm wondering if firefox pnd will have 3 or 4 digit when i'll get my pandora...


edit: speaking of the major revision number...

 

[hdonk]

Fingers X'd, might have 17 by end of today... Although maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit

At the current rate of development, Firefox will reach version 100 in about 14 years.

84version with 1 version/day =14 years? I guess you take in account the fact that he will need to wait for new version from mozilla?

 

[diligentcircle]

Of course. Mozilla's trademark terms disallow modified versions of Firefox to carry the Firefox branding without Mozilla's permission.

 

[notaz]

hdonk, I don't see any float instructions in those binaries, are you feeding "-mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp" to various ./configure and things?

:huh: How are achieving this work that involves typing with crossed fingers? :blink:


wqreyt-keyboard?

 

[fusion_power]

I have a Déjà vu... :lol:


Well, just tried FF15 yesterday and it works fine. Not sure if it had noticable speed improvements compared to my previous FF13 but it runs stable and does it's job. And now the Pandora feels even more up to date with the latest Firefox Versions, good job.

 

[hdonk]

hdonk, I don't see any float instructions in those binaries, are you feeding "-mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp" to various ./configure and things?

I'm not - configure seems to have chosen those options...

 

[notaz]

Something like "CFLAGS='-mcpu=cortex-a8 -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp' ./configure <your usual args>" might do the trick, or maybe CPPFLAGS.
