Firefox updated to 1.0.4

I use both Firefox and Safari, but mainly Firefox. Also because of Adblock and bug-me-not, even though adblock sorta breaks flash stuff a bit. Just found out here about Pithhelmet, so will try that. Seems good - until you see an ad it's missing, then it seems to be a pain to add it in. Still, better than browsing with it!

I like components of both browsers, but the one thing that causes me to primarily use firefox is the "bug me not" extension. I read a lot of national newspapers, most of which require registration, and having the ability to simply ctrl+click, select bug me not, then click and have it automatically fill in a login and password is a HUGE time saver.

I can't say I notice that big of a difference between the two when it comes to rendering and speed. I use Firefox on a Powerbook 667 and a iMac G5. Granted Safari is nice, but I have extensions I can't live w/o. Like Sage RSS reader, PR bar, GreaseMonkey, WebDeveloper and yea themes! Plus the find functionality is greater in Firefox. Granted Firefox is still in the version 1 stage, it's a sweet browser to me and I do LOTS of web browsing. As long as you are not on IE, use whatever you want.

i second the adblock post - i would use safari, i would LIKE to use safari, i tried again when i installed Tiger... and the moment i saw some horrible ad i remembered why i don't use safari. ...okay, i checked out pithhelmet. I'll give it a try and maybe use safari more often if it is as easy to use as adblock. Still, FireFox is a great browser and its extensions make it so much more usable.

Can Safari RSS do anything similar to Firefox's live bookmark drop-downs? I think they're great, but having to visit a seperate page to view RSS headlines seems counterintuitive to me.

first off......safari just now got a rss reader....i didnt even know what rss was untill i switched to fire fox...close to a 18 months ago...then i learned that people had specific apps to read rss feeds? and i just wondered why....and you have to admit...that was safari's "big" update. second what is the /. bug.....i know its a rendering issue....but i cant tell the difference. ive used ie, fire fox, and safari...and i cant tell...does anyone have a link with scren shot of the two? third....i still dont see why safari is so great....firefox works and sans specific guis, looks the smae on all platforms. since i have a linux box that i use for devolpment, a windows box for gaming, and a 15 inch power book for travel...i love that fire fox is the SAME on all platforms.... give me a reason to love safari...im sure i can give you 10 more to love fire fox.

@Scott: Another word... PithHelmet. google it

Firefox.... well... sucks on mac. It's not a true OSX app. It's UI is slow, sluggish, and it takes a hell of a long time to start. In my opinion, Mozilla should take Camino's UI, slap firefox on as it's rendering engine and call it a day.

One word: Adblock. You haven't surfed until you've surfed completely ad free.

Meh, I hate firefox too, on mac and PC. But safari is worse, I can't stand it. I tend to use camino just cause it seems the lessers of the three evils.
