Optimized International Firefox Builds From MOOX

Nigel Wellington writes "Many of us have tried and are using the optimized builds of Mozilla Firefox made by MOOX. For those not aware, these builds perform roughly 20% faster than the official builds from Mozilla, are generally more stable and have extra features patched in. Well, the good news is that MOOX appears to now be making optimized builds that are localized as well to specific languages! This page has several localized builds already (German, Czech, Finnish) and by the looks of it many more are coming. If you have been looking for a solid localized build I strongly suggest these. The German M3 version has been awesome for me for the past 24 hours!" (These builds are Windows-only.)

Things like this always makes me raise a red flag.
If these are chnages not in the original mozilla, might they
not be unstable/experimental ? Or if they are much better than
the original, why arn't they in mozilla.org ? Either way, not good imho ;). (good for end users if it delivers what promises though..)
