Fennec 14.0 and more (updated 2012-08-04)
 

I like to use Fennec everyday on my N900 and version 10 was not good enough for me. Luckily Mozilla has not ripped out all of the Maemo makefile scripts so it is easy enough to compile the latest code. I have put together a deb (using all the official Mozilla source) for you guys.

Fennec 14.0 (Firefox 14.0.2)
Requires Glib 2.26

Fennec 13.0
http://www.4shared.com/file/E4nq9mB5...130_armel.html

Fennec 8.0.1
http://www.4shared.com/file/U3w_bovq..._80_armel.html

Update: Version 8.0.1 uses a faster JIT engine than builds 9.0 and higher. Until Mozilla updates it (which will probably be never), 8.0.1 is the last build worth using on our N900s.

8.0.1 run: http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider...,120,125,126]}
12.0a1 run: http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider...,169,203,153]}
Fennec 13.0 is just as slow as 12.0. 14.0 seems about 20% slower than 13.0.

Not bad, because Opera Mobile doesn't support Lastpass (Premium) extensions.

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

its a much better improvement but firefox is STILL lacking in speed and smoothness, ashame really...

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

Thanks man :)

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

It is better at least from what I remember from old versions. It scores a 316 on html5test.com. It doesnt load h.264 video though.

Flash works but not great has to be enabled in about:config by setting:

plugin.disable to false
and
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to true (if it isnt already)

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

Thank for your effort.

The packages does not seem to be optified however (installs in /usr/local/lib/), causing my rootfs to be full.

I could symlink /usr/local/lib/ to optfs myself I guess...

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

Thanks for reviving Fennec on N900!
Stable verisons too would be great (Haven't tried this build yet)!

(Wow, imagine if FF finally could be *used* on N900!)

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

It doesnt uninstall via ham neither did apt-get remove finally used apt-get remove --purge which did remove it.

Could someone clarify whether or not this(apt-get remove --purge) is the correct way to fully remove it.

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

good catch. ill fix it and put a new build up.

Re: Fennec 12.0a build (Nightly)
 

OK. Optified package is now uploaded. Same code snapshot.

I'll put together newer builds when something significant happens. I feel it would be pointless to replicate the nightly schedule.
