Firefox Ported to Mac OS X for Intel

Posted by Hemos on from the already-underway dept.

daria42 writes "Mozilla Firefox has been ported to Mac OS X for Intel, with the assistance of Apple who provided some preliminary patches. Mozilla foundation employee Josh Aas write on his blog that while the patches were out of date by the time Apple sent them to him, they were still useful. "The Apple patches were extremely valuable because they did a lot of work for us and at least pointed us right to many of the problem areas instead of us having to figure out what we need to do," he wrote."

    Yet another critical IE vuln in the wild. What the hell are these guys up to? Go and give them hell and maybe they'll release a patch faster.
