Since the question arising on Firefox is open, I was wondering what differences anyone has seen between it, and Safari. I have been using Safari with but a few problems for some time. Sims 3 for mac torrent. Is there an opinion as to which is better, it at all? I am using it with OS 10.3.6 on two G4's, a Titanium laptop, and a 1.25 dual processor, both with plenty of RAM. There is, however, one specific question. Some sites I can access fully with the laptop, but not with the desktop, even though they are virtually the same hardware & software.

I own a PowerMac G5 Single 1.8 Ghz machine. I absolutely love Safari, after having used IE on PC's for over 15 years. I have a glitch however when I log on to my Bank and do my online banking. The Bank site will boot me off after attempting to say, transfer funds, or bill payer, or whatever. I then have to log back on and complete the transaction, or start again. That usually happens once when I logon in any particular timeframe of a few minutes.

Firefox (Mac abandonware from 2004) To date, Macintosh Repository served 590837 old Mac files, totaling more than 97317.6GB! Mac OS X 10.1 (Firefox 1.0.8), OS X 10.2 and OS X 10.3 (Firefox 2.0.0.20). Download Old Version of Firefox for Mac for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (PowerPC).

Since downloading Firefox and using it the last couple days, It has loaded pages faster, without any glitches at all, including the bank site. I have two points to address: First - I use Camino (from the makers of Firefox - a browser made just for Macintosh) and bookmarks can easily be imported in to Camino by selecting File/Import Bookmarks.

You'll have the option of importing Safari, Netscape, Internet Explorer or Other Browser Bookmarks. Firefox is not quite as flexible - you'll have to choose File/Import.

You'll be presented with a window to 'Import Preferences, Bookmarks, History, Passwords and other data from:' and the choice to import from Netscape 6,7 or Mozilla 1.x or Opera. Secondly, I also had a banking issue while using Safari. While doing my bill pay, the dollar amounts whould show incorrectly and the dates were wildly incorrect (like 1902!;-) ) When I called the bank to report the problem, they were immediatley aware of it and said they had worked at length to correct it, but were unable. So there seems to be some weird banking security thing going on with Safari - hopefully Apple will fix it to get Safari up and running because it really is a great browser. I was a fan of the Safari browser. However my experience of the product has been somewhat soured after I installed the 10.3.7 update. Problem have occurred across my candy coloured DV iMac, G4 Cube and iBook G3 (800combo).

Problem seems to be that in a while (a very short one!) Safari loads the Apple pages (and some others) fine then for no apparent reason I find pages can no longer be loaded unless I do the following. I have cleared the cache, reset safari, removed cookies, and cleared the Java caches. Immediately after these remedies normal functionality is resored only to find later the fault reoccurs. The problem is worse with my iMac which whilst only a 400Mhz G3 worked fine prior to the 10.3.7 update. Computer freezes also occur with Safari. As for Firefox well it works but it is nowhere as fast as some claim it to be. As a last resort I reinstalled my Netscape 7.1 and here are my results.

I access the BBC News wesite a lot and I notice that it always was loading slow on IE and Safari. However this is not the case with Netscape 7.1 (see tests below) BBC News site load times test (at ) Safari 40 seconds Netscape 7.1 6 seconds Come on Apple you say Safari is the fastest browser - all I can say is 'No Way' A onetime 'Safari' fan. Hmmm,just went to the BBC link for the first time using Firefox (with Google accelerator) running XP on a boot camped Intel Mac. Load time was so fast it was instantaneous.
