If you think Firefox could run a little faster on your Mac, then you might want to download one of BeatnikPad’s custom builds of Firefox 3. “Minefield” (previously known as BonEcho for pre-3.0 releases) is Neil Lee’s custom build of Firefox. He’s currently offering custom builds for:

• Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for Intel
• Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for PowerPC G5
• Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for PowerPC G4

Neil Lee has been offering custom builds of Firefox for many years now. They have the ability to make Firefox run a bit faster and smoother on older Macs. You can download them for free (though donations are accepted) from the BeatnikPad website.

In June, Apple’s market share for Mac OS X hit 7.94 percent, according to Net Applications. At its current growth rate of 0.18 percent per month, this means that the Mac should claim 8 percent of the global desktop operating system market by the end of July. Linux, while still holding a tiny 0.8 percent share, is also rising.

The only major desktop OS to decline? Windows. In fact, as the Inquirer notes, while the Mac is up 32 percent, Windows XP actually declined a full percentage point while Vista scraped together a measly 2.56 percent. Overall? Windows was down 2.45 percent.

Mac sales are outpacing Personal computer sales at 3.5 times faster rate. Two big questions are looming:

1. At what point will the momentum accelerate even faster? In other words, what’s the tipping point for Mac adoption?
2. Is Apple set up to handle this success? Does it want it?
