Hmm. Maybe I can finally retire my Safari theme for Firefox 2.

For years I really wanted to use Firefox on the Mac, but kept switching to Safari simply because Firefox did not fit in at all.

Firefox 3 has definitely changed that for me. From finally looking like a Mac application to the awesome bar to even the little things like the remember password bar, it has truly rocked.

I’ve only just recently (like ~6 weeks ago) got my first mac, and even for a first-time mac user who’s used windows forever, FF2 felt out of place. I’ve actually switched to FF3 full-time because it’s so much more Mac-ish (And I’m not normally a beta user; I try them out just to see what cool stuff I’ll be using when it’s released, but I never use them full-time if I can avoid it.)

I must admit, the ready availability of FF3-compatible versions of all the extensions I used really really helped. And I’ve finally switched away from Google Browser Sync for bookmark syncing

I prefer to think of Safari as Firefox without the awesomeness that is Gecko or support for add-ons.

You, a Mac fanatic? Sheppy, I expected better of you!

In other words, Firefox 3 on the Mac is essentially Safari with a Gecko engine and all of the Fx3 goodies.
