Beta version of Firefox 3.6 for Mac now available

They should really fix the interface to be more OS X'y. Just take a look at the dropdown-lists. They look like they came out of Windows or something.

3.6 has support for the Mac accelerometer but the website needs to code in support for it. It will be awesome once that starts happening though, and will really be useful if you have an external keyboard and mouse.

I'm actually really liking 3.6 right now. Starts up faster and generally seems much more snappy when loading web pages. And as far as add-ons go, Adblock still works and that's the most important thing. It's really the only reason I use Firefox.

Remember 2003, when the only viable Mac browser was an aging IE5? Wow, times have changed. FireFox, Safari, Camino. Opera. Sea Monkey. Sunrise. Chrome. iCab. OmniWeb.

And even more.

More than a half dozen via browsers, using three major rendering agents (webkit, gecko, presto). All of very high quality, each with their own attributes.

Only one major browser isn't on the Mac... because the manufacturer more or less admitted they couldn't keep enough traction to make it worth their while - Microsoft.

Is this the build that has that weird tilt-sensitivity thing? Because if it is, I would love to try it out.

I'm pretty sure the headline here should read. Firefox 3.6 beta now available. the current one makes it seem like it's Mac only.

I put up an Intel Optimized version at http://www.latko.org/downloads/

Am I the only one with this problem on Firefox?

It NEVER remembers the sign in info on pages I have accounts. I have the "remember..." box checked under Pref>security too. I've tried it unchecked too. Extremely frustrating and renders it useless to me. I'll sign into all my pages, close FF and then reopen it. I have to sign in all over again and not onlt that, it doesn't remember anything I've input.

IMO, browsers (all of them) have taken a step backwards since a year or two ago. Safari, since Snow Leopard, at least for me, has a page load probelm where I frequently have to click "reload". So much so that I've given up on it. I've tried ALL the tricks too. Camino is still very good but, not perfect., I use Camino and Google Chrome 99% of the time with Chrome being default.

I find it shameful that Safari and FF are in the state they are in. Hey, I understand some may have no problem. That's cool. I hear that but, I have 4 Macs in my house and same thing for all of them.

Maybe I expect too much. ;-(

am I the only person that's been using 3.7 beta for quite some time...?

I bet it doesn't get rid of the awesome bar yet :(

Chrome & Safari is still eating Firefox's lunch in javascript performance

Both these browsers is 2 times better than Firefox on Sunspider scores. Also in V8 benchmark, Chrome is 10 times better than Firefox, Safari is 6.7 times better than Firefox and Chrome is 1.5 times better than Safari.
