Here's Firefox 3.6.6 for anyone that's interested.
It seems not to have the menu lockup problem that the earlier pnd file has on my Pandora.
Enjoy!

Xmarks & NoScript both work ok too.

Edit: Removed link, as now in app store.

cheers, seams to work quite nice ...
anyone knows a way to map the full screen mode (F11) to an other button, like the Pandora or right shoulder button ?

Nice one

Does it run completely off the SD Card or does it write some things on the NAND?

This was in my TODO list to compile just for installing to my rootfs on SD ;P
Sso if you've modified it in some way, tell me before i get baffled with files in wrong places or something (I'm going to take a look after I get home from work).

All I did was get it compiling, then install it over the top of the extracted PND file from the pervious FireFox.pnd release, so all you should have to do is mount the pnd, and copy it to wherever you want in your rootfs.
As it's using the same firefox.sh as the current .pnd file, the settings are being stored in the same place.

Anything's possible! I'll check when my Pandora releases some cycles from linking QT.

Edit: Whoops, it would indeed appear to be the wrong version running. More investigation needed.
Ouch. Install put the binary in a completely different location than I expected. *sigh*
Apologies to everyone. I've fixed the problem and uploaded the *real* 3.6.6 version to the appstore. And this time I've confirmed 3.6.6 is in the about box. *embarrassment*

This Firefox keeps crashing for me. I don't know why, but everytime I open it and klick on a menueitem it hangs until I kill it manually.

I had the exact same problem on the 3.6.3 build, and the 3.6.6 build fixed it. Does the title bar say 'Namoroka' on it?

[milkshake]

mine does, does that mean its not a final version? the 'Namoroka' thing?

I don't know! I built it from the official source package, and that's what came out...

Whe you first run it it says "welcome to namoroka alpha"

Maybe a compile of the stable version would be better.

I got the source from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.6.6/source/
So if that is an alpha build, I'm surprised.
Also the 'latest' link from the ftp site points to the same place.
So if you can find another release source code, show me!
I assume there are some flags I could set on the build to make it come out without the Alpha/Namoroka tags, but I haven't looked for them... Yet.

Unfortunately those are the binary builds, provided by Mozilla. So no good to us. It's the source that's needed to build for the Pandora.
