Optimised Firefox (BonEcho) build for OSX

Recently, i’ve become increasingly frustrated with the utter dire performance of Mozilla’s universal binary build for Firefox on Mac OSX. So, can I point other readers having the same awful experience to Beatnikpad where custom builds of Firefox (called ‘BonEcho’ due to Mozilla’s non-free software license) are available for different Mac architectures - G4,G5 and Intel.

The binaries can be downloaded directly from Beatnikpad’s site. Firefox BonEcho is now usable on OSX.
