Firefox 3.0.10 Optimized for Intel macs
I’m sorry for the delay but now have 3.0.10. It should be a little faster, also I included a a build with a darker icon called Carbon by leo6247, as well as the ‘Betts’ icon I usually use.
EDIT: I will release localized versions in the next day or 2 according to what was more popular or what language is requested.
Also, what file hosting service is faster for people in Asia and Europe?

ATI 4850 working without glitches!
EDIT: Netkas’ Natit.kext is fixed so you don’t have to flash your BIOS, get it here.
After the 10.5.7 beta came out, netkas released the drivers along with a modied Radeonx2000.kext and Natit.kext. As it turns out, a dvi->vga adapteer is needed in one of the ports for the other DVI port to work with a monitor. An odd “bounce” glitch would occur along with a freeze every few seconds though until majito discovered that the memory clock on the BIOS of the 4850 all had to be 993mhz.
Here is my bios if you have the same card or want to look at it using RBE on windows: Asus EAH4850
(I had to put a DVI2VGA adapter in the DVI port nearest the mobo and DVI monitor in DVI port 2 for no freezes on my card.)
OpenGL tests
Here is what the memory clock speed should be:
RBE settings
9f23 installer, Intel, ATI, nVidia
** Injectors do not work currently with 10.5.5 drivers so DELETE them if you use one. EFI strings work. ** (natit nvinject and nvkush will automatically be deleted by a script in my installer)
Here is an installer to install the 9f23 graphic drivers and OpenGL.framework.
Intel included.
* If you use EFIstudio, choose your video card under display then choose Add Device, then choose write to com.apple.Boot.plist
*EDIT:ATI 3850 users may need to use a different EFIstudio version found here.
10.5.5 9f9 drivers and EFIStudio installer
After finding out that injectors do not work with the 10.5.5 kexts (at least nvidia kexts) I rewrote the installer to make sure that any of the nVidia injectors are deleted so that you will not have trouble rebooting.
I also added an EFIStudio installer option if you dont already use an EFI string in your com.apple.Boot.plist. It will open up after you install the newdrivers to be sure that you do this before rebooting. EFIStudio will be installed into your Applications folder.
*Choose your video card under display then choose Add Device, then choose write to com.apple.Boot.plist
I also added macgirl’s 8400m plist since its not in EFIStudio, no yet tested though. (a Dell XPS M1330)
10.5.5 9f9 Graphics
NOTE: EFI strings only seem to work with the new kexts, if you use an injector consider using EFIStudio and deleting the injector kext that you use. I put a link to EFIStudio on the nvinject download page.
If you want to try out the latest nVidia or ATI graphics kexts and the OpenGL framework without installing the beta update to avoid bugs, I put the relevant files into an installer.
They definitely work on 10.5.3 and up, I haven’t tried on any previous builds of Leo. EFI strings seem to only work with the new kexts, not injectors.
Here is a pic of what folders and files are actually installed:
DOWNLOAD - please check the NVinstaller download page.
EFI EZStrings v.2
EDIT: 8400m not working at the moment.
First of all this is just scripts I’ve made that makes the finding and installing your EFI string for Nvidia cards easier. This is really thanks to the work of netkas, I just like to try to make it alittle easier.
This first attempt is really just 3 scripts you run, I’m thinking about making an installer but frankly it’s a little harder. Read the rest of this entry »
NVinstaller v.52 - added modified “go” injectors
If you install a Go version and you tried a regular version first, delete the NVinject in your Extensions folder:
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extentions/NVinject.kext
