Mozilla Group’s Been Busy – Firefox 3.0.2 and Camino 1.6.4
Different folks, I know, but a nice pair of updates from the Mozilla Camp - Firefox 3.0.2 and Camino 1.6.4. The Firefox update seems to be focused on the security angle - good enough, and the browser wasn't bad to begin with, but they seemed to have squeezed in a few nice things. Several additional languages have been added, some fixes for the right-to-left languages, and even some Mac-specific bugs fixed.
Gotta get it, folks. Great browser.
Camino 1.6.4 is really the surprise for me today... it's got the latest rendering engine and boy is it improved. The previous version wasn't even worth using for more than a few minutes. This is fast enough now on pages to actually use. I'll be playing with it in the weeks to come, but if they keep making progress like this, I may move from Firefox as my #2 to Camino. It's really kicked in the speed. Great work, guys!
After reading up a little more on Camino, I have to say it seems like I'd like these guys. They are serious about making nice Mac software on the Mozilla codebase. Can't beat that. They have tried to incorporate the Safari-like Find interface, and several other nice things I use to make it a natural conversion from Safari to Camino. Yes... if the speed holds up, I may switch to Camino as my #2. Nice work.
UPDATE: I'm sad to see that the buttons in Camino are a mess. Maybe it's just the few web sites I tried, but the text was horribly off-center and the buttons barely looked like buttons at all. Not good, sad to say. But getting better, little by little.
