Warning: These builds are NOT FINAL OR PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS. These are NOT OFFICAL BUILDS and, therefore, are NOT SUPPORTED BY THE MOZILLA FOUNDATION. They are provided without any guarantees of stability, so please use them at your own risk. It is recommended that you back up your profile regularly, as there may be bugs that corrupt your data. If that sounds scary, you'd probably be better off with the latest official release version of Firefox that you can download here.


These builds are essentially the same as the Official Trunk Nightly Builds with the exception of the inclusion of patches for some outstanding issues, including not yet landed fixes for issues uncovered by the Acid3 Test, as well as bugs that I am currently working on or find particularly annoying.

These builds now score 97/100 on Acid3. The remaining issues that do not have patches included in these builds are:

  1. Intermittently (but quite rarely) failing tests 26, 27 & 80 (Bug 335998).
    (I no longer include the patch attached to this bug in my builds because it caused shutdown crashes)
  2. The builds fail tests 77, 78 & 79 because of lack of SVG Font support (Bug 119490).
  3. The builds fail test 71 if HTML5 parsing is enabled (Bug 501345).
  4. Incorrect favicon is displayed upon test completion (Bug 281150).
  5. Not all tests complete in the 33 milliseconds per test limit in order to pass the smooth animation requirement.

The extra patches currently included resolve the following issues:

 Bug 178258Acid3 (test 71)
HTML: Parser
HTML parser ships <script> to implicit <head>, breaking document.forms or document.getElementById

Sorry, there are no Mac builds, as I do not have access to a Mac.
