Camino 1.6.3 released

by Christina Warren (Aug 8th, 2008)

Camino, the best Gecko-based browser NOT named Firefox 3, has just been updated to version 1.6.3. This update, which seems to have rolled in 1.6.2 along with it (at least I never got the 1.6.2 notification, and I use Camino pretty frequently), sports the latest update to the Gecko 1.8.1 branch, ...

Mozilla Sunbird 0.8 for Mac OS X

by Steven Sande (Jul 6th, 2008)

You hate Entourage, and you're not particularly fond of iCal. You've waited endlessly for Nighthawk, Contactizer Pro is too complicated, and you want a native app instead of using Google Calendar or another web calendar. And, since you're saving money for an iPhone 3G, you don't want to spend any ...

Firefox 3 Download Day a huge success

by Steven Sande (Jul 3rd, 2008)

The graphic above says it all -- Firefox 3 Download Day was a success, with 8,002,530 downloads in 24 hours. Amazingly, this happened despite all of the initial download glitches that happened on Download Day. The Mozilla team is reporting that 29,116,621 copies of Firefox 3 have been downloaded ...

Despite a rough start, Firefox 3 Download Day a success

by Steven Sande (Jun 18th, 2008)

As reported earlier here on TUAW, Firefox 3 Download Day began with a whimper instead of a bang. Starting shortly after the official launch, TUAW received a number of tips from readers who tried downloading the vulpine browser and got...nothing. It appears that things cleared up fairly quickly. ...

Sneaky Safari Updater opinion roundup

by Mike Schramm (Mar 22nd, 2008)

The news that Apple has stealthily included Safari in its Software Updater bounced all over the Mac blogosphere today, and earned cheers and jeers (well, mostly jeers). Here's a quick roundup. The most attention probably comes from John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla, who unequivocally calls the decision ...

RIP Netscape Navigator (1994 - 2008)

by Christina Warren (Dec 28th, 2007)

Soon, Netscape Navigator - the first highly successful graphical web browser (yeah, yeah, I know Mosaic came before Netscape, but I don't remember seeing Mosaic floppy-disks bundled with my PC World and Macworld magazines in 1995, at least not under the name "Mosaic") - will be nothing more than a ...

Donate to Camino, it'll make you feel better

by Scott McNulty (Nov 27th, 2007)

We Mac users take our web browsers seriously, which helps account for the fact that there are just so many of them to choose from. For my money the top browser on OS X is Camino (though Safari 3 is closing in fast). Camino, as you can see from the accompanying picture here, makes a big deal out of ...

Is Apple aiming at Firefox?

by Scott McNulty (Jun 18th, 2007)

John Lilly, COO of Mozilla, has a bone to pick with Steve Jobs and Apple. As you might imagine, John keeps an eye on the browser market space, and he was interested to see Apple port Safari to Windows. This was a big deal, but the slide above had John worried. As you can see the pie chart shows ...

Netscape Navigator 9 beta is out

by Michael Rose (Jun 7th, 2007)

There was a time, dear ones, when a giant walked the Web: Netscape Navigator, the browser sovereign, held a massive 80%+ share of the market back in the mid-1990s, until some funny business (where "funny" = "anticompetitive & monopolistic") led to the dominance of Microsoft's Internet Explorer ...

Found Footage: Google Tech Talk on Camino

by Mat Lu (Mar 3rd, 2007)

Over at the Office Google Mac Blog, Mike Pinkerton, Google Mac Team Software Engineer, just announced a Google Tech Talk he gave back in January. Now the reason this is of interest is that Pinkerton also just happens to be the project lead for the Camino web browser and the talk he gave (as part of ...

As runs the fox so flies the bird

by Michael Rose (Dec 20th, 2006)

Right behind the update to Firefox, the Mozilla crew has bumped resident email/news/RSS client Thunderbird to version 1.5.0.9. Several security and bugfix changes are included. You can lift your wings and download it at mozilla.org. I will admit that I've never used Thunderbird on a regular basis, ...

Mozilla unleashes Firefox 2.0.0.1

by Laurie A. Duncan (Dec 20th, 2006)

Firefox, the web browser that needs no further introduction, has been updated to version 2.0.0.1. This update includes a few security patches and also adds general support for Windows Vista, which I have to keep reminding myself is somewhat relevant to a Mac-themed blog now! Grab a copy for your ...

Unofficial builds of Thunderbird with Address Book integration

by David Chartier (Dec 12th, 2006)

A deal-breaker for many potential Thunderbird users is its lack of integration with Mac OS X's Address Book. While we found a web-based exporting tool back in January that worked for some users, plenty of others have their reasons for sticking with Apple's digital rolodex. We've heard about ...

CocoaFox Minefield

by Dan Lurie (Aug 17th, 2006)

Firefox is fantastic... on Windows. I don't think there is much argument that Firefox is sorely lacking when it comes to fitting in to the OS X environment. Camino is a great alternative for those seeking a browser with the Gecko engine, but it doesn't have nearly the flexibility and expandability ...

Camino build optimized for Intel

by David Chartier (Aug 5th, 2006)

For Intel Mac users who are just ga-ga for Camino, a helpful MozillaZine Forums user by the name of heronstalker has posted a build of Camino optimized for Intel Macs - but only for Intel Macs. This is not a Universal Binary, it's a... Singular Binary, er something. I ran my old 'n busted copy of ...
