A Major release!

A contributor, who kept anonymity, contributed new light artwork. So we adapted and refreshed Arctic Fox's look! New icons for many details and all platforms!

  • Many JavaScript improvements, more tests pass. Hopefully improves compatibility a little
  • Many updates to video coders and media
  • Updated build system from Firefox. While still python 2.7 based, it is less dependent on configure and make. This change should help importing patches from Mozilla
  • specific AF bug fixes to tabs bar, search engines, tabs, pages
  • updates to secure connections, certificates

For a full log of fixes and mozilla imported patches: (v43.1...v44.0)

If you have issues packaging please note the startup cache issue: #162 and try disabling it.

If you did skip 42.1 release, please read its notes about preference folder changes.

If you get the forever spinning wheel because you are not using a super-power browser, like ArcticFox itself (thanks, GitHub) follow this link: 44.0 Assets

Read here Mac 10.6 and missing libc++ for startup crash in case of installation without MacPorts. Some user reported missing symlinks, so I created a new archive.
