Firefox 4 latest news

[hdonk]

For those waiting for Firefox 4 - the full release version still has the lockup on startup problem. Also I still haven't got a coherent debugging OS image. So I'm down to adding printf to the libxul functions to trace!


NTS: Must check for ltrace in Angstrom repo.

I've been using it on x86 computers and it is really different. I'm still using the latest FF 3 on my main machine until a few releases of 4. I think on the Pandora I'd use Fenic before 4. then again maybe the Pandora is a good place to get used to it, it is very minimalistic.

Can't wait to see how it does on my Pandora once you get that straightened out because beta 10 already is my favorite browser.

Beta 10 is awesome, for me works faster than 3.x.x ever did.


Am using 4 on my Mac and it is fantastic.

Yep Firefox definitely came back for a while in 3 it started getting power hungry and I started using chrome but as soon as 4 came out I started using it and was like goodbye chrome.

So, any news regarding Firefox 4?

I'm still working on it. Unfortunately getting a rationalised debug environment on the Pandora is turning in to a pain. There are a number of code sources that are used to build the Angstrom image, that have moved, or changed significantly since the release version of the OS was built - so trying to get anything coherent is proving to be a major pita. At least I got ltrace working and the indications are it's stalling somewhere in the GTK init process.

Thanks for the update again, mate. Keep up the good work! Cheers.
