Firefox .9.3 was just released and I have to say I find it to be faster than any of the other Mac browsers I have installed (Safari, Moz 1.7, OW 5 rc2, Camino .8, Opera). I still think the bookmark management and import options are not there yet (no Safari or OmniWeb support) and the theme, while much better than the early days, is a little clunky looking. Not as good as Pinstripe...

Otherwise though I'd say it's definitely worth checking out.

Yup Mozilla browsers are definately getting better with every release. Ive been using Camino .8 since it came out and I just love it. Ill try out the new Firefox tonight and see how it stacks up.

Man, been using this puppy again this morning. Really motors on most sites. The goofy windows form widgets are annoying in an otherwise nice looking app, but a minor quip.

i used to be a camino fan from the begining but then when firefox 0.9 came out i decided to give it a shot and since then havent looked back. or maybe once when camino 0.8 got released but then 2 days later was back to firefox.

the problem with camino was that it wasnt very stable. firefox rarely ever crashes with me.

i never liked safari, feels weird using it. internet explorer is a joke ofcourse.

so yeah firefox is definetly the best and its the cooler on macs then pcs. for those of you who have it i would definetly recommend installing the extension bug me not from bugmenot.com its really great.
