G4 and G5 are no longer being maintained as mentioned. There is a separate page for the intel builds over here --> Bonecho.

There is also a seperate set of builds (all based on Bonecho) maintained by a different person for G4 and G5 and intel, and it is called Furbism, so if you still want an updated G4 or G5 build, go to that app page.

It should be noted that G5 builds are no longer being maintained by beatnikpad. Not sure if this should be split out for G4 / G5 / Intel builds or not.

In that case, please disregard my earlier comment. Sorry for that. :-/

I do prefer the furbism.com builds, since they provide nightly builds.

@roeme:
beatnikpad.com and furbism.com have different optimized builds. There's not only one site or person that can make a custom Firefox build, you know...
Personally I prefer beatnikpads builds with the Aqua widgets.

No, that isn't my blog. I didn't know that the other site existed. I'll update the link.

..however, the link provided above is just for getting some hits for a blog. pshaw. The real site is here: http://www.furbism.com/firefoxmac/ , and thats where you can download the latest builds as well.

hmm, imo this is okay as a separate entry.

using this optimized builds on a ppc really improves Firefox' speed.

although i could see the link being somewhat useful, this entry would probably serve its purpose more appropriately as a comment under the entry for firefox itself.
