I created a monster

This post has been posted with the following monster:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090629 Iceweasel/3.0.11 (Debian-3.0.11-1)

For those not following or not very much aware of what it means, this is Iceweasel/Firefox 3.0 using the engine from Iceweasel/Firefox 3.5. And except a few components, it seems to work fine. And the demos for Firefox 3.5 from hack.mozilla.org all work as expected.

The xulrunner 1.9.1 package I’m using still needs more polishing before upload, though.

    Why just the engine, instead of doing a full Iceweasel/Firefox 3.5?

    Samat: Because I only worked on xulrunner, yet, wanted to test it.

    Too bad the new tracemonkey js engine doesn’t work in any 64 bit version. Mozilla doesn’t think 64 bit support is significant in the slightest.

    The 32-bit version won’t run properly on debian lenny amd64 either. Maybe Mozilla should note some of this in their release notes.

    Cool work, Mike! Hope xulrunner-1.9.1 will be soon uploaded!
