AppFresh not only gets update information from iusethis.com. If you have an user profile at iusethis.com you can manage it from within AppFresh and control which applications appear in your profile, even automatically. We can only recommend you sign up, it's free and lets you see how many users use a certain application. In AppFresh, the full iusethis.com application page with comments and links to similar apps is always just a click away.
AppFresh can capture the installed version of an application along with your preferences and application data and store it in a safe place. This way, you're covered in case you decide you liked the last version of an application better. Create as many snapshots as you want to make sure you don't lose anything.
AppFresh is currently work in progress, and we're not even calling it a beta. Make sure to check our development blog regularly. You are welcome to leave your feedback or suggestions for improvements there.

BonEcho Furbism
Listed below you will find optimized builds for MacOSX, each for different CPU architectures. Each build is compiled especially to take advantage of the specific features of the listed processor in order to wring the absolute best performance out of Firefox on our Macs.
Naming conventions below are as follows:
* FX- represents a build of the current 1.5.x.x line of code. These will be feature updates of the current stable and will be for general consumption and should be as stable as the official counterparts.
* FX2- represents a build off the 2.x line of source code. These will be progressing toward Firefox 2.0, and should be getting more and more stable until release.
* FX3- represents the cutting edge of Firefox development. These will be sketchy and strange at times, and should be expected to contain some bugs and generally be wacky, however they do showcase the newest features of Firefox and give you a glimpse at the direction Firefox is heading.***NOTE***
The linked app is for the Intel build, see the Homepage for other builds!
