Mozilla has released Firefox 1.0.2 for Mac OS X which is a security and stability update that is part of the “ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience,” according to Mozilla’s notes. It is recommended that all users upgrade to Firefox 1.0.2 (versions for other platforms are also available) .

Does it still hog resources??
I am running it right now…
does it stop pop ups from MDN?
didn’t think so.
What exactly is the difference between Firefox and Camino in relation to how they render pages? They do use the same rendering engine, Gecko right? I know Camino is written from the ground up in Cocoa, but it seems slower than Firefox.
Anyone care to help me on this one? Thanks.
The nicest browser for OS X right now without any doubt is Camino. It’s slim, fast, and open source.

You should check out the recent nightliy’s.
Another chance to visit my Wintel-using friends and distribute Firefox. They already know what I think about their next computer.
Squatch: The difference is that Camino’s code is designed for OS X and OS X only. They don’t have to worry about portability. This means you get native keychain, address book and rendevous support, among a lot of other things.
Stopped my popunders and seems faster too.
So, what makes these browsers so much better than Safari?
ignorant fool: IMHO, they aren’t. I find Safari to be quicker and look better than Firefox. However Firefox is incredibly customizable. You can add all kinds of extensions to add functionality Safari doesn’t have. I keep Firefox as a second browser.
Ignorant Fool
I use Safari as my main browser and Camino for troublesome sites.
