Release Firefox 17.0.1 in repo


I'm waiting for a new LCD cable to arrive :)

They have now abandoned mobile flash, and it keeps being included in the .pnd by accident.
One day I will remember to take it out of the PND build script...
 
Its nice to see devs for current, mass-market software putting effort into efficiency :)

It seems like a real shame that everyone has massively powerful computers which spend their CPU cycles running clumsily-written software...

On my modern X-core X GHz X GB RAM PC at work, some of the same things I did on an Intel 80186 processor Palmtop with 640kB RAM and 16MHz clock speed need more time and let me wait longer than with that old Palmtop! Let alone size of the executables: Growing from about 20-64kB .com executables written in assembler to now many MB sized EXEs including huge frameworks. Even a simple Windows calculator program now carries so much overhead in its EXE. Ugly.
