Fix your Sluggish Firefox 1.5 on Intel Mac

Using Firefox as my primary browser I was finding my productivity on my new Macbook Pro being affected by my browser. Loving the functionality and the extensions of Firefox however even just booting it up took time and it was starting to get to the point I was considering going back to safari.

However i found this version of FireFox that has been specially complied for the Intel Mac. After running it for 3 days of full-time development I have to say I am very impressed.

Even my extensions like google sync have improved.

Specially compiled version of firefox for Macs

Gav's Gravatar I never liked the way that it shows up as "Deerpark" and not "Firefox". So I right clicked on Firefox.app in Applications and "Show Package Contents". Then took the Contents/Resources/firefox.icns and put it in the corresponding place for Deerpark. Then i deleted FF and renamed Deerpark as Firefox. Ding dang done!

Rob's Gravatar top job. I have kept firefox, just incase took me 20 mins or so to get use to hitting deerpark instead of firefox.. but once you go into safari and preferences and set your default browser to deerpark instead of firefox you will be sweet.
