G4 and G5 optimized Firefox 1.5.01 released

"And what is with the redundant 'boomarks-##.html' files created in Firefox's '~xxxxxxx.default' directory?"

That's because of Spotlight. Add your profile folder to Spotlight's privacy settings and you'll never see another one of these files again.

#7: Huh? I'm on the official Firefox 1.5, PowerMac G5 1.8GHz, and there's nary a blip when I hold down the mouse button, let alone insane fan whirring. I've never ever experienced this on any of the release versions of Firefox. Suggest it's something to do with your config.

Actually, Deerpark isn't the name of ALL Firefox prereleases... it is the name of all pre-beta aka alpha builds and all unofficial builds... trake make issues.

Actually, Deerpark is just the name of ALL the Firefox prereleases. Not sure if this is one though; its just that all the nightlies I see are called Deerpark; maybe its to separate the novice from the expert?

See the link in my name for an x86/OSX optimized version I just found

"What do you guys think of this Shiira browser?"

The Shiira browser seems to harness great potential and is a great browser if they could just get all the kinks out but as far as im concerned its buggy to hell and crashes often, im suprised it even came out of beta...

Re: Reinhard, comment#7...

That's a "feature". You can rev your fans like revving your car's engine at a stoplight. Only in this case it just annoys the person in the next cubicle. ;)

Does Cmd+Shift+Del now work to clear userdata? That was broken in v1.5. And what is with the redundant 'boomarks-##.html' files created in Firefox's '~xxxxxxx.default' directory? (boil down from your user Library) It just churns them out... to the tune of 100's of MB. Bad.

Too bad, but this G5-optimized version still sports the "Mother of all Firefox-Bugs", namely gobbling up almost all of your CPU-Resources if you hold down your mouse-button (on my PowerMac 1.8MHz it runs up to 95%, the fans start to really blow). Why can't Firefox-Developers fix this?

Puzzled...
