TenFourFox
I don't know... I didn't install the extension until yesterday.

P.S. IT seems to effect the G3, too, as I see the problem on my Pismo.

They use the same code. If you can test it with 10.0.1 to make sure it does fix it on your system, I would appreciate it.
I did and it does. With 10.0.1, it looks just like it should.

Thanks, that tells me it's either in the new branching code or in the sqrt library. Since branching would probably cause other errors, sqrt is the likely suspect. I appreciate the detective work. Filed as issue 134.
The first release of our unstable branch (Fx11) is now available, along with another round of "things you didn't know about the G5": http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2012/03/110-musings-and-gripes-starting.html
Please try 17.0a2. Yes, we're up to what will become the next stable release and ESR, guaranteeing at least bug and security fixes from Mozilla for awhile even if we don't make it to the next ESR. Help us stomp the bugs out. http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2012/09/170a2-available.html
17.0 beta and a new QuickTime enabler! You can grab them both off the blog: http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/
just saw this... I should cruise other parts of the forum more often 
installed 10.0.10 in my mini G4
1929ms on the java test. safari comes up at 5449 awesome!

17 final is just around the corner. I just made a last minute fix for a performance regression on multiprocessor Macs.
Aaaaand ... it's out. Enjoy.
A dramatic improvement in 17.0 from 10.0.11 in Sunspider on the G4 Powerbook.....1761 vs 2094, ie,8.4%. Not so dramatic on the G5...795 vs 818 (G5 Quad).
Very nice work!
Very nice work!
Failed to transfer to gcc 4.6.3 -- one of the libraries it builds doesn't seem to work right with Tiger dyld. Can you succeed where I have failed? http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/issues/detail?id=52

Running 17.0.2 on a couple iBook G4s. Very snappy, and much faster than safari!! Thanks foor all your hard work!!
ten four fox saves the day!
my mom's spa has switched to new appointment booking software. Previously we had a mac based server/client system, unfortunately new features were slow in coming and online booking/gift certificates were poorly set up and glitchy(among other issues). The new one is web based and works great...
However, after we get it up and running she finds, oops, requires firefox. Fine for the front desk computer and for her office computer. Not great for the appointment desk computer of employee computer(so employees can check their schedules and clock in/clock out) those are G5 and G4 imacs, no firefox(3.6 is incompatible). :O So I tried ten four fox, it works with the site! YAY!

Excellent!
Didn't know where else to put this.
I saw this thread last week, didn't have a clue was TenFourFox was until I had a quick read. Downloaded the G3 version for my Pismo and was just blown away with the browser. Then during the week upgraded my Pismo to a G4 550mhz, so swapped to the version matching my CPU and wow..Just WOW! Thank you so much for developing this. You made my Pismo actually SURF the internet and not chug along in a way that is almost painful to watch.
It just goes to show what I always suspected, if something is coded right. You dont need a quad core, 5gig, rocket powered system to visit Facebook..Regardless of what Apple might tell you. A G4 550Mhz or even a G3 400mhz can still do the job very reasonably ;D

haemogoblin: Indeed. I believe that's why forums like this exist.
They exist for people who don't want to put up with forced obsolescence (I think?), among many other things.

Thank you! 
But I think the biggest thing is that Mozilla recognizes their performance chugs on low-spec devices. Now that they're focusing heavily on mobile, these efficiency improvements are getting into the core browser as well. 19 is already a lot faster than 17, and we're busily whacking bugs out of 20. By the time 24ESR comes out, I bet it'll be sleeker still.

I remember trying Minimo and Fennec.They were made because of the 32MB limit on Windows Mobile.
All i can say is thanks, it's great to be able to use my Pismo for more then word processing. Will be featuring the TenFourFox browser on my blog
Didn't you try OmniWeb or Camino?
AWESOME. I use this browser on my ibook G4 with leopard.
Looked into early Mozilla source code and found makefiles for Rhapsody Yellow Box and OPENSTEP.
Neat find z180. Just looking or got something up your sleeve?
I just tested the Zotero Firefox plugin in TenFourFox after the latest (17.0.5) update on a G5 dual 2.3, and was delighted to see a huge improvement in sync speeds (as promised, i.e., all that stuff about online storage services in the readme). I am shortly off to install the update on a 12" G4 PowerBook in order to see how it behaves under the new regime. Well done!
Very happy now with TFF on my Powerbook G4. Makes it actually practical to use for browsing!

Am I the only one that would love to use a PPC SeaMonkey 2.1 or later?
Actually I wouldn't mind the email/composer feature from seamonkey/netscape/?
But I do love me some classilla/tenfourfox.
