I think I've found some interesting Firefox builds

I happened to stumble across some links in Mozilla's FTP, and came across some Firefox builds that were never officially released.

For example, I downloaded the ZIP file for US English Firefox 45.9.1; I believe the final public release was 45.9.0 because I couldn't find the release notes for 45.9.1. I wonder why 45.9.1 wasn't officially released. Firefox ESR 45.x is unique as it is the final ESR to run on SSE only processors such as the Pentium/Pentium II/Pentium III.

In there, the very first build is 45.0:

The last build:

You can find the other earlier/later builds here:

You'll notice I have deliberately spoofed the user agent for Firefox 52, so I don't get silly messages that my browser is out of date.

I stand corrected. I think I might have been thinking of MMX support, which was first seen with the later 1996 Pentiums.

So, I think this means that Firefox 3.6.28 was the final version for the Pentium and Pentium II: (https://web.archive.org/web/20120525091229/http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/)
