Firefox 1.5 G4-optimized Version

I'm running the new build on a ppc7447a (I looked it up using the provided link; 'machine' in Terminal reports ppc7450). Seems to work fine (if no quicker), but the brilliant foXpose plugin barfs which is a shame.

Rats, and I spent all morning compiling a list of Mac based Firefox links. Who knew TUAW beat me to it.

Oops - yeah you are correct. A few G4 PBs have the correct processor. My mistake. Here is the list: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g4/index.html When I scanned the list, I thought they were in numerical order and I didn't catch the six or so 7450+ listed. What is odd is that older, slower 12" PB has a higher processor number than newer versions. Maybe the list is incorrect.

umijin, my powerbook's processor is 7455..

Interesting...a 15" 1.0 Ghz PB shows ppc7450 via the 'machine' command in the Terminal. Perhaps this command isn't accurate? It does say in the man page that the command is 'under development'

If you bother to look at the processor list for your powerbook, you'll find that none of them are above 7450 - which (according to the instructions) means you won't get any speed increases. Moral of the story - read the documentation first.

I actually downloaded that build earlier today, but it actually *increased* the CPU usage on my 1GHz Powerbook, though I suspect it may be just a personal issue with my computer, so I think that since Shiira is working just fine for me, I'll stick with it for now. But don't get me wrong, I still love you Firefox, with all my heart.

Yeah, thats a bit faster but I think I'm gonna stick with Safari.
