Firefox seems to be a piece of junk on my mac. Font problems being the main issue.... Also, it seems firebug doesn't work. Any solutions?
Thanks,

meeklo - firefox has tabbed browsing, web developer toolkit and (on PC at least) firebug.

Safari has tabbed browsing... but I have to agree that the plugins makes firefox the most attractive option on any platform

I dont know about the web dev kit, but I can see fonts w/ no problems, browse fast with no problems.Firebug, I dont even know what that is , but I'm on mac and so are you?

"Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page..."
Sounds useful for any developer, anyway, when I had a mac... *cries*
Firefox worked fine. What is the font issue? Screengrab maybe?

Check out Camino to see what would Firefox look like rendered in Cocoa, just like Safari is. It lacks some of the FF features though.
I heard they're rewriting mac FF to use Cocoa environment.

camino doesn't support the plugins he wants either...

Two main font problems are:
1. When I am typing an email in gmail it loses the text and all of the sudden I can't see what I am typing.
2. Links show up with the last letter not included in the link style and get overrun by other text.
Thanks,

"look at that crap"
I dont know man, what I would do, (and I do this anytime anything goes wrong) uninstall, repair permissions, re install repair permissions again, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
if this really annoys you, it probably won't work, but good luck!

- rafalski0
aqua buttons! how could I forget!
google bonecho, or optimized firefox - that's the one I am using anyway. that might be your solution!

DL'd minefield and it seems to solve the problems... however.... It doesn't work with the newest version of WD Toolkit.
Thanks for the tip though.

I dont have the same font issues, but fonts in firefox do look like shit in firefox. Especially cyrillics.

Firefox in general with the appropriate set of extensions is the Swiss Army Knifes when it comes down to browsers. FF works perfectly fine on my mac. Also Safari has a huge memory leak.
