How to get a Firefox that works (OS X)

Can't wait for 1.1?

1. Download the source for 1.0.3 (from this page)
2. Save this patch (fixes middle-button actions, originally from this Bugzilla page) into the base 'mozilla' folder, then run it with

   patch -p0 

3. Create a ~/.mozconfig file (here's mine - the optimization flags are for a G3 processor, but can be changed).
4. Compile with ./configure and make as normal. This can take a while.
5. Run

   mv /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/searchplugins ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/

   so that your search plugins don't get overwritten during the upgrade.
6. Run

   cp -R -L dist/Firefox.app /Applications/

   to install Firefox including the symlinked libraries.
7. Run

   ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/searchplugins /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/

   so that the new version can find your search plugins
8. Run Firefox. If necessary set up the userChrome.css, userContent.css, user.js and extensions as described earlier.
