   *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 https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/blob   
   FIREFOX_24_8_1esr_RELEASE_OS2_Beta_4/widget/os2/CHANGES.OS2> file contains   
   more detailed list of changes.     
      
   The README.OS2 https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/blob/   
   IREFOX_24_8_1esr_RELEASE_OS2_Beta_4/widget/os2/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 https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/issues>.   
    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/   
    http://home.earthlink.net/%7Esteve53/betas/> (currently, this   
    one   
    http://home.earthlink.net/%7Esteve53/betas/exceptq-7.11-shl-2014-03-03.zip>   
    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.
