I would be grateful for any wisdom that might be around in ucsm on the
choice between using Camino and Firefox as one's browser.

I'm a little confised why Camino exists. Firefox, for me, works well on my MBP. It seems a litle strange that the two co-exist.


I'm not sure really. I'm a very recent convert and also use Firefox. Once reason could be that Camino is better integrated into the whole OS X experience. However, it seems to be lagging quite far behind Firefox in terms of security updates :(

That's true, there are fewer Camino updates. But are the security updates in Firefox for Firefox-only things like XUL, or are they for stuff shared by Camino?

Cheers,
