HellFire, named after the HellFire Air-To-Surface missile, is a Firefox build optimized for absolute performance. It's a direct compilation of Firefox, emphasizing maximum performance without any source, configuration, or visual modifications.

Releases

We provide x86_64 builds for both GNU/Linux.

• x86_64 GNU/Linux: Releases

Note: Windows builds failing consistently. Microsoft Windows has been the single most bugged and worst system for developers and it's users. Due to consistent issues exclusive to Windows, Microsoft Windows is removed from support completely, with immediate effect.

As Linus Torvalds said to NVIDIA once, I say to Microsoft - --- YOU MICROSOFT
