School days: Firefox Campus Edition

@SimonArch, Camino does support some plugins, just not nearly as many. See www.pimpmycamino.com

I have no plug-ins installed, have done this with a fresh install of Firefox. This is a known bug with Intel Macs + Firefox.

Lots of examples. And to clarify, I have a brand-new MacBook Pro. Maybe older intel macs are immune haha

@drkirdbill - Funny...I've had Firefox installed on my MacBook since I bought it in May of '06 and apart from some graphical oddities relating to Google's main page (and ONLY that page) I've really not had any trouble with it. Certainly it's crashed here and there, but never with any sort of predictability or regularity. If you have a lot of plugins installed, you might want to check to see if any of them conflict with the others. It's the first thing I'd check. Camino IS nice, but since it doesn't support plugins, it's a no-go for me.

As for an iTunes remote, check out Coversutra. It's not free, but it's very, very nice.

@drkirdbill- Just use any of the many iTunes controllers that work systemwide. I've never seen the point of controlling iTunes from a web browser when I can do it systemwide. Personally, I use Quicksilver for this (F1: play/pause, F2: previous, F3: next, F4: eject iPod).

I switched to Camino on my new MacBook. Firefox + Intel chips = bad news. It would hang on me once a day and I'd have to run Applejack to fix it so I could run Firefox without it hanging on me again.

But on that note, is there anything similar to FoxyTunes for Camino? Because I miss it.

I found this kind of lackluster, but evidently this is more publicity and trying to expose students to the fact plugins exist. I put a list together of a more... robust list of of Firefox plugins and one of their guys replied. So, hopefully we'll see something a bit bigger soon.
