   *bww bitwise works GmbH progress update February 18, 2015   
   ***   
      
   This is the fourth beta release of Firefox for eCS (OS/2) version 24. It    
   contains some UI fixes (makes the "Clear Recent History" dialog and most    
   recent sites' thumbnails on the new tab canvas work again) and makes    
   XUL.DLL finally loadable into high memory.. Also this release uses the    
   new GCC runtime (version 4.9.2) which significantly reduces the size of    
   executables and DLLs and the memory footprint of the running application    
   (by about 5-6 megabytes).   
      
   The CHANGES.OS2    
       
   file contains more detailed list of changes.   
      
   The README.OS2    
       
   file contains software requirements and detailed installation instructions.   
      
   *IMPORTANT NOTICE*   
      
    1.   
      
       If you find a bug (which is likely), please create an issue at the   
       issues page .   
       But before you create a new issue, be sure it is not already   
       reported by searching through the existing ones using the Search   
       field at the top of this page.   
      
    2.   
      
       When Firefox crashes it creates a trap report that may contain   
       useful information for the developers. These reports are saved in   
       |.TRP| files created in the directory where |firefox.exe| is   
       installed. By default these reports contain only basic information.   
       In order to make them even more useful (and therefore make a fix for   
       your problem much more likely) please do the following:   
      
         * Install the latest EXCEPTQ runtime from   
           http://home.earthlink.net/~steve53/betas/   
            (currently, this   
           one   
              
           is the latest).   
         * Install the Firefox symbol files by downloading the   
           |.symbols.zip| archive from the link below and unzipping it to   
           the same directory where you installed Firefox.   
         * Make Firefox crash again and attach the resulting |.TRP| file to   
           the issue describing your problem.
