Lots of improvements can be felt, read the release notes. JavaScript, WebGL and media support improved.
One big drawback: my attempts to build PPC binaries on G4 and G5 yield to unstable results. Compilation works, but many pages make it crash.
If somebody else can build and see how it fares for him? Christian Zigotzky? Anybody else?
Afterwards, in case... debugging or at least bisecting is required.
My computers are too slow to do bisecting!
Hi Christian,
Have you been able to test? I wonder if I should delay adding to Fienix repo until stability has been worked out.

I compiled a non-altivec 32-bit version of Arctic Fox 43.0 for Ubuntu 10.04 and higher (12.04, 14.04, 16.04 etc). It also works on Void PPC, MintPPC (Debian Sid), Debian PPC 32-bit, and Fienix.

Edit: I redownloaded the package and now it seems to work ok!
But the settings has been reloacated from '.org.wicknix' to '.org.multix', and the settins folder has been renamed from 'Arctic fox' to 'Arcticfox'.
Great, that it works! You're right because of the relocation of the settings.

Attention: The preferences folder changed in 42.0. The domain changes from org.wicknix to org.multix and the application name from 'Arctic Fox' to 'ArcticFox'.
On MacOS you just need to rename 'Arctic Fox' to 'ArcticFox'.
On Linux, BSD and others, in your home directory rename '.org.wicknix.Arctic Fox' to 'org.multix.ArcticFox'.
Your preferences, history and session will be retained without issues.
I downloaded it to VOID/Downloads and decompressed it there. I don't think I'm really supposed to leave browser parts in Downloads. But I was comparing the new one there with the old one that has an icon at the top of the screen, and apparently that icon now boots the new ArcticFox. I'm baffled (as usual).
Or maybe I'm wrong. The Help menu says "About Arctic Fox" and when I click on that it says "Arctic Fox Version 39.0." Shouldn't that be changed to "ArcticFox," no space?
Oh, oh! It should also say Version 43.0, not 39.0! Now what?
