They'll likely be a v0.8 soon, but it will just have installer/icon tweeks.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your effort.  One question though, which firefox should I use with AMD Ryzen processor?  I have found that firefox 60.7.0esr works extremely well on my Linux Mint Ryzen computer.

MozTurbo and SM/TB can be found in different directories indeed:

The Pentium M should be best for most everyone, with the i686 for those without SSE2 capable processors.
After 52ESR, Mozilla targets the Pentium M as well, so your 60.7.0 should be similar for targeting.

Thank you again for keeping up with these things.

Alright, so I replaced the AMD Phenom II version you did for me with this SU2 Pentium-m drop, the CPU usage is visibly more spikey, yet the browser actually appears more responsive after prolonged usage, which is ultimately a good thing as that brings stability.

I do have a question regarding the DLLs you included in your distro, and I'm not talking the standard XUL.DLL stuff, but the remaining DLLs which are also available through the RPM package install, they are:


--- Code: ---Directory of G:\apps\tcpip\firefox

 5-04-19   2:03a    228225           0  freebl3.dll
 5-04-19  12:34a    137493           0  nspr4.dll
 5-04-19   2:04a    500726           0  nss3.dll

 5-04-19   2:03a     72331           0  nssdbm3.dll
 5-04-19   2:03a     74803           0  nssutil3.dll
 5-04-19  12:34a     12300           0  plc4.dll
 5-04-19  12:34a     10733           0  plds4.dll
 5-04-19   2:04a     74081           0  smime3.dll
 5-04-19   2:03a    110309           0  softokn3.dll
 5-04-19   2:04a    117247           0  ssl3.dll

--- End code ---

What's the best approach to managing these? And by that I mean: do I replaced the previously installed RPM package DLLs with your versions, or do I leave them in the Firefox install directory, but if I do, will they conflict with any other apps that will of course pull them from the RPM install (that being \usr\lib...)?

In comparison to the Phenom II build, these DLLs were included in that release, so I continued to use the RPM package ones.
