Thats true, but only for 32bit.

Well, in the meantime you could use a similar SlackBuild to repackage swiftfox, so it would still be easy.

I just did that too. The few lines that needed changing were:

VERSION had to be changed to 3.5
ARCH had to be changed to i486
NUMJOBS had to be changed to -j3 because I only have two cores
cd mozilla had to be changed to cd mozilla-1.9.1
the mozilla-firefox-mimeTypes-fix.diff.gz patch had to be commented out
the package extension had to be changed from txz to tgz

As there are 'lots-o' bugreports on the all-fresh-all-new FF 3.5, and there's be a major bugfix announced.. there's 2(or even 3?) options:

- SW:13 is released within a few weeks, no FF 3.5(.1?)

- SW:13 is released within a few months,. FF 3.5(.2?) will be included.

or:

- SW 13 is released without FF 3.5, SW 13.1 will feature FF 3.6.3 :)

Eitherway: it* will be ready, when it's ready :)


* as in SW:13

It hasn't crashed yet and I've been using ever since the minute it came out.

metrofox 07-12-2009 02:32 PM
It's faster too, don't you think so?

H_TeXMeX_H 07-12-2009 02:38 PM
It's definitely faster, especially on older machines. I just updated to 3.5 on my older laptop and it works a lot faster. On my newer machines I notice that it is faster, but the difference is less noticeable.

I found something to play with on 3.5 that I couldn't use on 3: HTML5 Drumkit:
