Optimized Firefox 2.0 for G4, G5, and Intel Macs

For those who want a optimised ‘unoffical’ version for G4, G5 and Intel Macs, check the Blog out at tuaw.com

This is a summary from the TUAW.COM Blog (the unofficial Apple Weblog).

Whenever there is a new release of Firefox I anxiously await Neil Lee’s optimized version. Neil aims to please, and he just announced on his blog
that he has whipped up optimized versions of Firefox 2.0 for G4, G5,
and Intel Macs. Please keep in mind that this optimized version can’t
use the Firefox icon, or the Firefox name. You’ll see a variant of the
icon to the right, and the app will identify itself as BonEcho. Why? As
Neil explains the name and icon are for official builds only, and this
ain’t official, baby.

One of the nice touches in these builds
are the Aqua form widgets, but there is a version with the Firefox
default widgets if that’s your cup ‘o tea. Anyway, get to downloading
and thanks, Neil!
