OK, so now I'm interested in building Mozilla... a non-debug, optimized version as Gabe suggested. I downloaded the source for 0.9.5, read the Unix build docs on mozilla.org, and still find myself a bit at a loss. Any chance someone could post an example .mozconfig file with some comments on which options to worry about?

Mozilla 0.9.5 is rock solid for me. The speed isn't too shabby either, although you'll most likely notice a slowdown compared to opera or navigator. Mozilla 0.9.6 had some issues, so i never used it. Mozilla 0.9.7 has JS issues, and some memory leaks, but is otherwise very nice. I'm thinking 0.9.8 is gonna rock if they fix those issues. I use mozila exclusivelly now. The nice is that you can also use netscape plugins. Make sure you either build an optimized, non-debug version -- or if you're into running other people's binaries, make sure you get an optimized, non-debug version :) (or else it'll be slow, and you'll get a wrong impression) -Gabe _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
