Four new versions of Mozilla 0.9.3 are now uploading slowly (56K) to Hobbes:
Warpzilla-0.9.3-emx.zip Binaries for PM
XWarpzilla-0.9.3-GTK.zip Binaries for XFree86/OS2 with GTK+
XWarpzilla-0.9.3-QT.zip Binaries for XFree86/OS2 with QT
XWarpzilla-0.9.3-Xlib.zip Binaries for XFree86/OS2
Each is slightly under 13MB. Of the two maiden releases (QT and Xlib),
the QT is flakier, and both require more patience than the GTK+. The
Xlib has the advantage of requiring no extra GUI toolkit. All three XF/2
versions include MathML and SVG support.
All four builds have security, but (alas) no Java. One of the first
things you should do after installation is open Preferences->Advanced
and deselect Java (on by default) to prevent problems arising from
mozilla looking for something that isn't there.
The PM is impressively stable and, for the first time ever here, sailed
through all 100 of the random browserbuster sites. Its most blatant bug
(which, duh, I forgot to mention in the ReadMe) is displaying images
upsidedown when an img tag specifies width and/or height.
Launch speed has also improved substantially and here is at long last
down to a tolerable 17 secs or so for all versions. Hint: if you're
running Mozilla with a big flock of *.xpt files in bin/components, feed
them to bin/xpt_link.exe; here this shaves a solid five seconds off
launches. The version in these zips supports wildcards, so you can go:
cd bin
xpt_link any_name_you_want.xpt components/*.xpt
del components/*.xpt
move *.xpt components
Then delete component.reg and the two *.dat files in components before
relaunching. You'll only notice the improvement with the second launch,
however, because of component reregistration, Without wildcard support,
you have to feed xpt_link a file listing the *.xpt files in bin/components.
Have fun!
