Hi, how is Firefox as a browser for Mac

Hi, can someone tell me if it is safe to use Firefox as a browser for you Mac and doe's it cause any problems?

Firefox is my primary browser and it does not cause any harm to your MBP or problems in general.  I my opinion, I find it superior to Safari.  Others may have different thoughts.  I suggest you download it and try it and form your own opinion.
Ciao.

  • How do i update my browser for mac 0s2 9.2.2

    i need help bad! i have a mac g4 - version os9.2.2 that i was given. i just got internet service on it-verizon dsl and it is not working properly. the techs at verizon said that i needed to update my browser, but i am not sure what that means. they said i need to update it to 10.2 version. i called apple but they will not support me because of the age of the computor. what would be the upgrade that i should get and where can i get it for the cheapest cost? apple said to search on line but i cannot navigate these sites well.
    any suggestions on a minimal upgrade and a place to purchase???

    Hello Kithy,
    OS9 and Internet Explorer will work just fine with Verizon's DSL; they may not be officially supported, and you may have gotten a techie unfamiliar with Macs or OS9. You should have the latest upgrade of IE which is 5.1.7 although the original install which I think is 4.5 should work. I just installed from an OS9 CD last night and I checked to see before I upgraded. You may have to search these posts or Google to find the download link for the latest version; it's no longer available from Microsoft.
    I suspect you may be having other troubles installing.
    iCab should work, too, and - although I don't use Mozilla myself - if Tom says it works you may take it to the bank.
    If you decide to go to OSX (which I find more capable but less user-friendly), avoid 10.2 (Jaguar) and get either 10.3 (Panther)(my favourite) or 10.4 (Tiger). I got my copy of Panther from http://Applerescue.com for $59.
    In my experience, OSX browsers Safari, IE, and Firefox all work well, although there are some differences.
    Good luck ..... Jon

  • How to set Firefox as default browser in Mac OS X via console

    I would like to set Firefox as default browser via the command line in Mac OS X. The goal is to enforce Firefox as default browser for all users of a Mac OS X system by means of a login script. I am also looking for a way to add Firefox to the user's dock from a login script.

    Launch Safari and open its preferences. You set the default browser there.
    Not very logical is it? I think a Microsoft plant came up with that one.

  • How do I update to Firefox 3.6.3 for Mac OS X 10.4 when although logged in as an administrator I don't have sufficient permissions?

    I am trying to update to Firefox 3.6.3 for Mac OS X 10.4 but when I try to install am told that I don't have sufficient privileges. I am logged in as an administrator.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Using Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac: the Bookmarks menu has stopped showing new bookmarks, although the Bookmark This Page seems to work - is there a limit to the number of bookmarks that Firefox can show?

    Using Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac (OS X 10.4.11)

    Did you place the new bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder?
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks
    If new bookmarks do not show then a possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Offline browser for Mac

    Does anybody know a better offline browser for Mac than this? I haven't tried it yet.
    http://www.bestshareware.net/download/webcopier-for-mac.htm

    Thanks for the browser info it seems like it might work well but having a few problems. When I go to websites it will tell me to enable javascript, I can't locate it haven't been on a Mac in years. I tryed to unblock cookies and also unblock images but those settings will revert back to, blocking them. I tryed going to software update, but that came back with, update did not find new or updated versions of your software. I thought maybe javascript needed to be updated? And OS 9 is more than likely no longer supported? So if you have anything I could try would appreciate it.
    Also if I may add to this post. This G3 blue and white computer came with Mac OS X. But I couldn't reset the login password and didn't have the original OS CD, so couldn't get into it. The computer probably hadn't been run in years. I had to replace the pram battery, date was 2003. And had to replace the ram.To get it to start.
    Then I installed Mac OS 9.0.4, because I couldn't get into OS X without the password.
    I had saved the entire software pack from a iMac DV I bought in 2000. What I've read is, that OS disk would be specific for that iMac only, it installed on the G3.
      I don't think the computer hard drive reformatted with the install of OS 9? The OS only took about 15 minutes to install. I didn't see a reformat window come up where I could make a choice.
      My question is, would OS X still be on this G3? Or was it removed with the OS 9 install? I don't know how to locate it if it still is?

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after upgrading to FF 3.6

    You need to use the command line switch -safe-mode in the Terminal to start Firefox 3.6 versions in Safe Mode.

    The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.

  • Question to everyone: Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?

    _*Questions to everyone:*_
    *Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?*
    *Have you found any tricks to make Safari faster ?*
    *Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?*
    Thanks for your participation and helping others enjoying speed like you !

    HI,
    Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?
    Safari. But as with any browser, speed depends on what type of internet connection have, high speed being the fastest.
    Have you found any tricks to make Safari faster ?
    Empty the cache, Reset Safari, delete WebpageIcons.db from ~/Library/Safari
    A lean machine runs faster and better performance. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
    Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?
    Same for any browser. Empty the cache often, clear the history.
    Information here regarding Safari's web kit. The WebKit Open Source Project
    Cisco is changing going to have an impact on internet speeds. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/191125/newcisco_router_supports_322tbps_designed_for_internetvideo.html

Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

    how to uninstall norton anti virus for mac

    A little late to the game, but .sit files are Stuffit files as developed by http://www.stuffit.com/ Apple used to use this compression format, but does no longer, and no longer includes the free Stuffit Expander program made by Stuffit.com. If you need to extract an old .sit uninstaller, get it from Stuffit.com. And also any company making such a program for Mac OS X should seriously consider upgrading their downloads to be .dmg.zip files instead, which are more easy to extract on Mac OS X without downloading extra software.
