Arctic Fox 43.0 has been released.

New: github.com

Downloads for Mac OS X: releases

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.

Anybody else have a problem with 43.0 where the title bar disappears?

I'm using the newer libraries as mentioned previously.

If I revert back to 42.1, the title bar comes back.

I'm using the 64-bit version in Snow Leopard 10.6...

Maybe it's a setting in about:config that's changed or...???

Hey all - trying to get the latest AF to work on my Early '06 iMac with a Core Duo. Fresh and updated install of OSX 10.6.8.

I've downloaded and installed AF and copied the C++ lib files to /usr/lib as they are supposed to be, but AF just crashes on startup?

Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libcxx/libc++abi.1.dylib

Macports `libcxx` installs an old version of `libc++`.
(You can also install a newer version from `libcxx-powerpc` port, but you will need to edit supported archs.)

Though honestly this should just have rather been built against `libstdc++` instead.
