Not sure if this is related to FF, but sometimes my keyboard appears to stop working in it, until I re-start the application. Anyone else come across this?
Not a Firefox 1.5 issue, but: anyone having plugin issues with AdBlock installed? For example, if I go to beatport.com, with adblock installed, the flash doesn't display. The same is true of quicktime... viewing the aperture video on apple's site doesn't work for me.
Curses! I love adblock, but not at the expense of plugins!
BTW, to answer my own question, Adblock has been updated to 0.5,2.056 which fixes my previous problems.
AFA Camino, I have no interest in it, as:
It doesn't support extensions. Adblock, Fasterfox, Translate and Web Developer Toolbar are necessities.
It uses an older firefox code base, and as such lacks many recent features. Firefox is bleeding edge, and rock solid stable.
Firefox is not hard on the eyes. The Mac developers have done a fantastic job of porting to OS X. It looks and feels very nice. Support for spell-check and Aqua widgets would be nice, but I can live without them.
Camino doesn't support Downloads in tabs (and neither does Safari). Firefox does this with the Download Tweak extension.
Camino doesn't yet support RSS feeds. Firefox does this in a way that IMHO is better than Safari.
Thanks for the reply, and perhaps I've misunderstood because I'm not on top of Terminal, but the Camino bookmarks seem not to be .xml but .plist. The Firefox bookmark files are .bak and .html.

I've tried the BookIt demo but that won't let me, either.

you can manually copy your bookmarks over, from Code:
Library/Application\\ Support/Camino/bookmarks.xml
to
Library/Application\\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/default.bui/bookmarks.xml

I'm obviously missing something.

Maybe Tabbrowser Preferences allows for that. Check in http://addons.mozilla.org for that extension.

According to mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard) it's Command+Tab, which is a bit absurd.
Apart from my bookmarks question, I have other observations:
When I open a page and press the down arrow to scroll down, it takes me to the bottom of the page.
There is also no option to open new tabs in the background. That is ESSENTIAL.

This used to happen to me. I found the solution in installing a G4 optimized build. That fixed it.

Gene Clean: thanks for the Tabbrowser Prefs. Has some very good options, including the one I mentioned.
However, I installed DeerPark, the G4-optimized version, and the down-arrow still takes me to the bottom of the page. Very strange.
Aquatic: You can navigate Tabs using Command+1,2,3,4 etc. Not the same, but it's all I've found so far.
Anyone know how to solve the Camino bookmarks problem?
