A fix for a Firefox/Download Status Bar quit bug
I honestly dont see why mac folks are heaping such praise on this browser. It is essentially a Windows/Linux project that adds OSX as an afterthought. I pulled down the 1.0 release, and discovered really shoddy page rendering -- much of versiontracker, for example had a big white, empty box in the upper left corner. The nightly fixed some of the rendering problems, but cannot install extensions! Import does *nothing*. I really dont get it. With all of the Mac browsers to choose from, why this one? If you want mozilla, try Camino, if you want features galore, try OmniWeb, if you want raw speed, try Opera, for intergration, stick with Safari. I dont see how firefox trumps any of these browsers.

Not sure about others, but for me, it's:
According to a recent poll, though, there are actually relatively few of us that prefer Firefox -- Safari has a commanding lead in the OS X browser market. -rob.

My problem with Firefox is that it doesn't use keychain and by default, anyone with physical access to your mac can see all the passwords it has stored in one go.

I use Safari for general browsing, but for web development I need FireFox. Overall, FireFox seems to have the most complete implementation of XHTML and CSS. I develop against the standard, and make it work in FireFox. Then I use browser sniffing to alter the style sheets (and sometimes the pages, too) to make it work in Safari and IE for Windows. (Safari usually only needs very minor changes. However, IE often needs huge changes to work around bugs, and even then it doesn't really work properly.) |
