<p class="callOut"><strong>Updated January 6</strong>: G4-optimized versions are now available! I haven’t had much time to test these, but from what I can tell they work just fine.</p>
<p><iframe src="/includes/digg/firefox2001.html" frameborder="0" height="120" width="75" style="float:left;">&amp;lt;br&gt;</iframe>I had a bit of time between jousting with other frantic last-minute Christmas shoppers and relaxing with my family to build some optimized versions of the recent Firefox maintenance release, <em>nee</em> version 2.0.0.1.</p>
<h3>What’s new?</h3>
<p><img src="http://beatnikpad.com/images/posts/firefoxBuild.png" width="128" height="127" alt="firefox" class="imageRight" />The <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.1/releasenotes/">release notes</a> on what’s new shows that this release is mainly bug fixes and security updates. If you want all of the gory details you can pop on over to the Mozilla site.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: Hey, it looks like this version fixes the “I hit command-w with only one tab open and the window won’t close” bug that 2.0 shipped with. Hooray! Oh, and it also looks like people just can’t be bothered to actually <em>read</em> this entire entry before commenting. Ah well.</p>
<p><strong>New aqua form widgets and user agent tweakage</strong> </p>
<p>As usual there are two different versions available - one with “<a href="http://www.amake.us/software/firefoxy/">Firefoxy</a>” form widgets applied, and one with the more OS X-looking aqua form widgets.</p>
<p>These builds are the first ones to have an overhauled version of the aqua form widgets. I’ve spent some time tweaking them to fix a bunch of the rendering and alignment issues found in earlier versions. Let me know if you notice anything looking out of place.</p>
<p>I have also tweaked the user agent so that these builds identify themselves as Firefox instead of BonEcho.</p>
<h2>Download</h2>
<p><strong>Updated</strong> - A newer version is <a href="/firefox">now available</a>.</p>
<p>(Cutting and pasting this from the last update ‘cause I’m lazy and tired of having to repeat it)</p>
<h3>Why is the name / icon different?</h3>
<p>I really shouldn’t have to keep repeating this, but every time I post a new Firefox release I still seem to get people annoyed / pissed off / confused as to why these builds are missing the Firefox name and icon. So here comes the strong emphasis: </p>
<p><strong>The Firefox name and icon are copyrighted and cannot be used with non-official builds</strong>. These are non-official builds, so they cannot have the official branding. Pretty straight-forward. Please don’t ask me to build versions with the official branding.</p>
