Firefox for Mac is slow

For some reason Firefox for Mac is sluggish while using Gmail and Yahoo Mail. I am now using Camino as my primary Mac browser while still using Firefox on my PC. Hopefully the folks at Mozilla will compile a separate version of Firefox that is faster on the Mac. Until then, I’ll be using Camino.

I’ve been playing with a new web browser on my Mac this week called Camino. It was recommended to me by cmp101.  Camino is a very, very fast Mozilla-based browser for Mac only. I was a bit skeptical at first, but Camino is seriously growing on me. It doesn’t have all the options and plugins…
