   etheral is showing me this build is passing info (on periodical basis) to to some china’s servers (acording to IP), strange…I already disabled it in FW…

   so beware ppl when using these build for paypal/credit card info…

   ALLWAYS use official builds, never “modified ones”, whoever makes them, it’s the easiest trojan you can get

   Hi blade runner,

   Passing info to china site is my expected behavior, especially I’m in Taiwan, not China.

   I’ve built unofficial builds since 2004, and I’ve *NEVER* gotten any benefit from that.

   I guess if you used official build, the situation would also occurs. In most cases, it’s caused by extensions that includes adware, like Google Reader Notifier.

   If you confirm it’s surely caused by my build, please attach ethereal captured log to me (pigfoot_AT_gmail_com), then I will give you the cause as I can.

   Thanks for the optimized build as usual. I had been waiting for your release since I noticed the availability of 3.5.4.

   Great work thanks Pigfoot i just tested the portable edition and it’s smooth and fast .

   I am new to this builds so can any one tell me how do i install the none portable to my x64 pc plz

   matar, AFAIK you can “install” Pigfoot’s optimized Firefox by replacing your (official) Firefox content with Pigfoot’s contents.

   I have not uninstalled Firefox through this method, so I cannot vouch that it is a 100% sure-fire thing.

   This method will allow all Firefox shortcuts to work with the optimized build. (Or you can just make the Portable Firefox your default browser?)

   Thank you Stan .

   I will try this method and about the portable ; my system won’t allow me to make it default even if i choose it as my default browser … its always IE8 :P

   Thanks again for your reply

   Hey, where are the builds for Linux?

8. derek November 20th, 2009 at 4:57 AM 8

   what does it mean you’re supporting the update channel?

   once installed will I get security update via menu?

   or I need to download the whole .zip firefox again?

9. derek November 21st, 2009 at 10:46 PM 9

   halooooo, if I’m going to install FF to my clients I need to know whether the auto-update feature is working!

   otherwise absolutely no point for this build! (ppl aren’s so skilled to install it themselves!)

10. Cal-123 November 22nd, 2009 at 8:58 AM 10

    @ Derek – You will have to do the updates manually – These do not have that feature

    I can’t wait for you to do 3.6 builds :)

12. J J November 29th, 2009 at 9:41 AM 12

    Please do Firefox 3.6b4 optimized builds! :]

13. Cal-123 December 2nd, 2009 at 1:56 AM 13

    Pigfoot, to my knowledge, doesn’t do beta builds. That’s not his ‘game’. Only optimized finals.

14. Andres December 3rd, 2009 at 7:36 AM 14

    Can I really upgrade my current 3.5.5 installation with yours without any side-effects?

15. Y Y December 6th, 2009 at 11:56 AM 15

    http://www.binaryturf.com/free-software/blazing-fast-firefox-optimized-distributions/

    There are optimized 3.6 beta distributions at that URL. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be done as well as pigfoot’s.

    Hi pigfoot,

    nice work but one question: if i load a webpage where the very same picture (with the same url) appears several times, why does it load that pic several times from the webserver, rather than only loading once? that would make it a lot quicker!

17. MozillaFans December 16th, 2009 at 10:01 AM 17

    Great work… Hope for more updates

    Thanks for everyone’s patience.

28. ORiN January 8th, 2010 at 12:59 PM 28

    I was almost afraid that pigfoot is gone forever. Great to have you back!

29. Chien-Lung Su January 8th, 2010 at 5:34 PM 29

    Thank God, pigfoot you are back!
    And just now you can find the 3.5.7 builds here temporarily at

    http://ftp.twaren.net/local-distfiles/pigfoot/firefox/archives/

    (en_US, zh_TW, zh_CN builds are okay)

    I am now using 3.5.7 zh_TW P2 build!

30. Mari January 10th, 2010 at 2:28 AM 30

    Picking up the new build now, thanks! :)

31. Cal.123 January 15th, 2010 at 11:03 AM 31

    The new 3.6 RC1 pigfoot release is posted on:

    http://ftp.twaren.net/local-distfiles/pigfoot/firefox/localizedbuilds/en_US/3.6/

    I’m running it now – don’t forget, if it doesn’t hold the default browser setting, copy the uninstall folder/ and all files, from a regular Mozilla dist. to the pigfoot install directory – Now it will ‘hold’ as default browser.

    Thanks pigfoot !

    :)

    Hello,

    I’m very interested with your builds, but I have yet to see the 3.7 series get optimized. I am currently using 3.7 (Minefield) and it is (IMO) much faster than 3.6. It would be greatly appreciated if you are able to optimize 3.7.

    Thanks,
    BV
