Best browser for OS X 10.1.5?

[GnrlyMrly]

I'm using the stock IE at the moment, but it doesn't let me view most sites to their full potential. I was looking into Camino 1.0 and the new Firefox, but both say they require 10.2 or higher. So what other options do I have beside IE?

Thanks.

Ok, try downloading iGetter from here, it works with 10.1.x:

Then use it to download Mozilla. I guess this should work.

Ebay would be a good place to start. The big question is what hardware are you running? Panther is a great investment but you have to be able to run in smoothly to enjoy it to the max.

well, I would recomend you upgrade the RAM, it makes a whole world of a difference. Is it a G3?

Nope. I d/l it and when I try and select it through the applications menu I can't.

Would it be easier for me to d/l firefox for mac to my pc and save it to disc and then transfer it over?

Yes, if you have a PC, just download Mozilla for Mac (Not Firefox) using the PC.

I think you will get a significant increase in satisfaction if you look for a cheap upgrade to 10.2. And while I second the upgrade to RAM to make it work better, as long as you have enough availible HD space it will still be more stable and compatible than what you are currently using.

Also, if you have trouble downloading the browser you could always have someone use http://beta.yousendit.com/ to have a link to an already expanded version of the program e-mailed to you...If the burning a CD thing doesnt work for you that is.

Is there a plugin that I am missing from Mozilla to play like the audio from myspace.com or video from mlb.com? Like on myspace.com I get error connecting. Also it won't seem to let em log in. It's not a huge deal, but I'm just wondering if there is a fix or if the browser just doesn't support it.

It should work fine, but again I say you should upgrade the RAM, 512 being the bare minimum.

Also, I would recommend Panther over Jaguar. Although I haven't used any of them before, most programs out there require atleast Panther to work. In addition, Panther introduced a great feature called Exposé, which I don't think I could work on a Mac without it: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/expose/

Here's an eBay link to Panther: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sPageName=MERC_VI_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT

Alright. I'm just going to get Panther and d/l Camino once I get it installed. Is $39.99 a fair price for 10.3?

I don't know, it depends on you. It originally sold for $129. But it's much better than Jaguar, and a lot more compatible in terms of software.
