Paranoid Marvin Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Mozilla released its newest version of Firefox the other day, version 2.0.0.4. It includes several bug fixes and a few new languages, as well as improved Vista support. Though what I think they really need is better Mac optimisation Grab your release notes here: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox...4/releasenotes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 That is why I run Camino. It is Firefox truely written for OS X with Cocoa. It is slightly behind Firefox, but runs great. Google it and try it. EDIT: Go got the Camino community forums and they have a 1.5 Release Candidate 2 version. Not suppose to blast it out on the net, but it is a new version. They are skipping from 1.04 straight to 1.5 with spell checking etc that Firefox has. I have downloaded it and will check it out tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm back to Safari now, just so I can use inquisitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 What exactly sucks about Firefox for the Mac? I have been running it since version 1.5 and have zero problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It "sucks" or runs ok on slower machines. FF takes 10 seconds to come up the first time for me, Camino takes 3 or 4. *shrugs* The power of Cocoa based vs. non Cocoa based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMX-Knuckles Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 FF is pretty slow on slow or SSE2 systems, but on anything fairly fast/recent it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
