Uploaded DLLs for My Private Builds (beta). Added "Portable" option.

Uploaded Firefox 3.5.5 private build.

1. Firefox Private Build

Last updated: November 6, 2009

1.1. Feature

These are my private builds of the Win32 version of Firefox. The features are as follows:

  • Windows 2000 and later recommended.
  • No installer.
  • I recommend changing the value of general.useragent.extra.firefox from Shiretoko/… or Minefield/… to Firefox/…, and some sites and add-ons will work properly.
  • If you execute 'Module binder for Private Build' and finish modules binding, Firefox may be started faster.
  • An incompatible nssckbi.dll installed in a different directory can impede the startup of a new build. If so, please rename the old nssckbi.dll temporarily before trying to run the new build.
  • Applied Miyasaka's IJG's JPEG software with x86 SIMD extension V.1.02.
  • Added my patches into a Source folder.

Beta DLL List

November 7, 2009

Added "Portable" option to tmemutil.ini. For additional information, please see the Portable section of About tmemutil.ini.

3.3. Test DLL

Last updated: January 29, 2009

This is a test DLL to check if Release DLL or Beta DLL contain bugs. This DLL uses the original MS C run-time codes for most functions.

If the problem is eliminated by using the following DLL, that means there will be some bugs in an old DLL. In that case, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the version number of DLL in which the problem exists.


4. tete009 builds FAQ

4.1. Troubleshooting tete009 builds

Last updated: August 8, 2008

Some sites and add-ons do not work properly.

I recommend changing the value of general.useragent.extra.firefox from Minefield/… or BonEcho/… to Firefox/…, and some sites and add-ons will work properly.

I can't change the locale of browser though I installed the language pack.

In Firefox's case, open the "defaults/pref/firefox-l10n.js" file with a text editor and set general.useragent.locale value.

In Thunderbird's case, open the "defaults/pref/all-l10n.js" file with a text editor and set general.useragent.locale value.

It seems that your builds have a higher memory usage than others (Thunderbird 2.x only).

My Firefox 3.x builds came to use jemalloc as well as official builds, so the memory usages are almost the same as official builds. The following is the case for Thunderbird 2.x private builds.

When you open tmemutil.ini and set the value of EnableCRuntimeLFHeap to 0, tete009 build disables Low-Fragmentation Heap (LFH) on the CRT heap, and it reduces memory usage.

By default, tete009 builds enable the LFH on the CRT heap (Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP and over).

I can't run tete009 build. Or, C Run-Time Error R6034 occurs.

  1. If you overwrited tete009 build to the installation folder of other build, it can cause problems because of containing both old and new files in the same folder. If so, please install tete009 build in a new folder.
  2. An incompatible nssckbi.dll installed in a different directory can impede the startup of a new build. If so, please rename the old nssckbi.dll temporarily before trying to run the new build.

When Hyper-Threading technology is enabled, deadlocks do happen occasionally in a short amount of time.

When you open tmemutil.ini and set the value of ProcessAffinityMask to 1 or 2, tete009 build uses only a single logical CPU, so the symptom may improve.

I tried the above, but a problem still occurs in tete009 build.

Please try the following.

And yet, if there appears to be a problem with tete009 build, I would appreciate it if you could let me know the following information.

  • Details about the problem and the way to recreate it.
  • File name of tete009 build.
  • File name of DLLs for My Private Builds.
  • Enabled add-ons (extensions, themes, plug-ins).
  • OS and CPU name.

4.2. About tmemutil.ini

Last updated: November 8, 2009

The tmemutil.ini file is a text file that contains the initialization options for tete009 builds. When the tmemutil.ini file exists in the root folder of tete009 build, tete009 build will get initialization data from it. The following keys are currently supported in the [General] section.

Portable (Beta DLL only)

Enable or disable portable mode. If this value is 0, portable mode is disabled (default). If the value is 1, portable mode is enabled.

If you enable portable mode, the paths of application data folder (identify it with CSIDL_APPDATA) and the local application data folder (identify it with CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA) are replaced into the subfolders (AppData and LocalAppData) of PortableData folder. The PortableData folder is created at the root folder of tete009 build. It means data such as profiles is saved within the PortableData folder.

EnableCRuntimeLFHeap (Firefox/Thunderbird 2.x only)

This option is ignored on Firefox 3.x because the builds came to use jemalloc as well as official builds.

Enable or disable Low-Fragmentation Heap (LFH) on CRT heap. If this value is 1, the LFH is enabled (default). If the value is 0, the LFH is disabled.

GdiBatchLimit

Please refer to GdiSetBatchLimit. If this value is 0 (default), leaving it to Windows.

ProcessAffinityMask

The affinity mask for the threads of tete009 build. This value is a bit vector. On single-processor systems, this value is ignored. If this value is 0 (default), leaving it to Windows. Please refer to SetProcessAffinityMask.
