Firefox 2.0.0.2 (Mac OS X)
Context-menu doesn't work with trackpads (again)
Firefox 2.0.x requires a 2-button mouse to get to the context menu. Using Command-click or holding the trackpad button down no longer works. I recall this was a problem with 1.0 and was fixed in 1.5. Now the problem is back with 2.0. Context-menu access is a pretty essential feature, even for laptop users. But Mozilla's Mac developers do not appear to be engaged or vigilant enough to fix major UI gaffes like this. [alert admin]

Could you add support for proxies and SOCKS5? [alert admin]

Saving the image that somearticle include would be nice. That way you can view article summaries along with their pictures while offline. Perhaps making this an option having an image cache expiration date would be best. A more intriguing possibility would be the addition of functionality similar to the Scrapbook extension for Firefox. Vienna could save web pages for all marked articles, then let you flip through them selecting the portion of the page to archive with the mouse cursor (and also adding notes) before saving it.

Firefox 1.5 (Mac OS X)
...but I can't completely. The features are terrific. Otherwise, FF 1.5 still has the habbit of consuming 6-10% of my CPU with only a couple of very static pages loaded. (macfan2004: I noticed the 100% usage problem when I first upgraded to 1.5, but that disappeared in less than 10 min). Disabling plugins does not help. Safari normally uses <1% of the CPU under the same conditions, and its a bit quicker in general than FF. Also, there are a couple new problems: On certain large pages, drop-down boxes will cease to drop when they are clicked; Instead they just highlight (although you can still change the selection with the cursor keys). Context menus accessed via holding down the right mouse button on an HTML link don't behave quite right; The menu is 'sticky' and when I release the button over the desired menu entry, it just sits there (the menu stays up and the menu entry isn't selected). Actually this occurs with more than just links (the background of this comment-posting page, for instance) but the behavior isn't consistent. Sometimes it behaves correctly. FF 1.0.x had a memory leak problem (as does Safari), but I've only used FF 1.5 for 3 days at present, while the memory leak would only become pronounced after 5-8 days of usage without restarting the browser. So I can't tell yet if FF has fixed the memory issue and the (slight but noticable) stability problems. Overall, FF seems to use rather less memory than Safari. IMO the Linux version is of somewhat higher quality and consistency than FF for Mac. My feeling is that Mozilla doesn't *quite* know what they are doing on this platform, and/or they have trouble taking the Mac seriously (which would be a huge mistake for them to make with the largest Unix userbase and growth trend, by far). As the saga with KHTML and Webkit has shown, the Mac arena has a great deal (if not more) creativity, muscle and user-focus to offer FOSS projects like Firefox than the priestly server-room culture permeating that, um, 'L' operating system. It is time for Mozilla to wake up and finally get their browser 'done right' on Mac OS after all these years. Pages render very well in FF. And some of the extensions are great fun and indispensible. I use Scrapbook extension to archive interesting web pages (and websites) that I come across; Flashblock is another extension that only runs embedded Flash animations when you click on them (a great nuisance-avoider).

Firefox 1.0.6 (Mac OS X)
The main reason why I run FF is because I need a cross-platform browser. Drawbacks are slow speed and memory leaks. Compared to Windows and Linux versions, the OS X releases of FF seem neglected. Otherwise, Safari seems much quicker and somewhat more stable; It is my recommendation for OS X. [alert admin]

Firefox 1.0.6 (Mac OS X)
Mac-specific bugs are still there
Firefox behaves well on my Linux system, but on my Mac I can't leave it running for more than a day or else a bad memory leak will grow too large and result in the browser chewing up lots of CPU cycles (was between 7 and 20% with 1.0.4 but now its as high as 70%!!!). This is battery-death on my iBook. [alert admin]

LoudHush 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I have been using iaxComm to access my iax2 service VoipJet.com. LH can basically connect and make calls, but DTMFs don't work right inless I'm using headphones, suggesting the program is too simplistic to employ echo-cancellation. When at an automated prompt, for instance, pressing "3" results in the other end hearing "333". Back to iaxComm for now. [alert admin]
