Trying Firefox

One of the Macs that I support is an iMac running OS 10.1. Because Safari doesn't run on that system I had set up Mozilla as the browser. But the latest version was crashing a lot. So I decided to give a different browser a try.

I had heard good things about Firefox, but I was concerned that it wouldn't run on the older OS, but my fears were unfounded.

Firefox, a Mozilla related browser, runs very nicely on the machine. Installation was painless, it even imported all my Mozilla bookmarks without any problem. The screens draw fast, and the the look and feel of its controls are pleasing.

In fact, I'm so happy with FF on the 10.1 machine, that I've installed it on my own Mac, and I may be on the verge of leaving Safari behind.

More later.
