| 1232042 | 2011-09-18 05:14:00 | Hi There Just want to know the experience of people using Mac and Firefox. I and running Mac OSX 10.7 and firefox to 6.0.2. Firefox just hangs mid-way while I am surfing the net. As a result, I have to hdd reboot the Mac every time it hangs. No such problem when using Safari. I have been a Firefox user for umpteen years and is not about to give up yet. Does anyone know what the issue is? cheers |

| 1232045 | 2011-09-18 11:13:00 | I was going to ask what worked best on a Mac. I used Firefox on my PC and loved it but haven't added anything to the iMac yet. I have friends who love Chrome but I tried it on the PC and didn't like it. So it sounds like Firefox is usually fine for a Mac? | Beemer (6956) | ||

I tend to use Safari and FF mostly though, it just comes down to personal preference really. |
