Firefox 4 on Tiger PPC

[ClassicHasClass]

I've gotten that randomly with other browsers, so I don't think it's a 10.4Fx issue specifically. I've seen it on my office PC with Fx 3.6, for example.

But since we're bumping this thread, watch for beta 12 to come down the wire (labeled b13pre due to an issue with checkout I didn't notice until the build was done, minor issue). This fixes most of the rest of the 10.4-specific bugs, and also is a lot more aggressive about memory consumption. However, it also really wrecked the plugin code and I hope I got all the gaps. QuickDraw-based plugins are dying, and it's going to be a cold hard CoreAnimation world, so it will be harder and harder to support PPC plugins that are no longer maintained (which is why I am deprecating them, and disabling them in the future).

Anyway, I've been using it on my G5 and iBook and looks good, so push out to beta channel tonight when I get back from work.

Just a note that my network is down hard due to the winter storm that hit So Cal. I'm of course about 100 miles away visiting my parents so I'll try to get it up as soon as I can get back. If you want this, the googlecode project is still up:

Last post on this, I promise. Now that Mozilla has branched, we are now stable on mozilla-2.0 and Firefox 4 lives on in stable maintenance as TenFourFox on Tiger PPC. I'll push out 4.0 final as soon as Mozilla finishes their QA on the RC.

In a couple months, I'll post about Firefox 5 becoming TenFourFox 5
