Swithched to Firefox and Flash on iBook G4

Hi.

Nothing earth shattering here. A few months ago I used the published "fix" for tricking Web sites into using Flash. However, Safari has done nothing but become increasingly slower in virtually all tasks: Loading, loading pages, opening new tabs, etc. I would frequently need to use force quit when Safari would just hang there for several minutes at a time.

I use my iBook primarily for reading and writing on various Web sites, email and watching films. It got to the point where I was considering shutting down my iBook (after streamlining Safari) and simply getting something faster. Then I recalled having read someone recommending Firefox and gave it a try. Much faster at all tasks, and no hanging. It does everything I need, and it does them quickly.

 

I'm not fluent with Safari version names.



The version number is 3.6.16.

I'm more than happy to try something faster if you'd be so kind as to direct me to a download site.

Thanks.

 

iBook G4, PowerBook6,7, 1.33 GHz, 768 MB.

 

Thanks!

 

I downloaded it, but frankly, the Firefox build I'm currently using seems to execute tasks almost instantaneously. If I have problems in the future, I'll give the build you posted a try.

Thanks again.

 

Thanks again for the info.

I'll install the later version when I get home.

 

Installed Camino and having great fun with it.

I've never had a problem with Flash. I much prefer HTML5, but several sites I visit to watch films require Flash, so I need to use it, or a "fake Flash" until further notice.

Thanks again.
