MacOSX

(NEWEST POST)
Firefox on Mac finally working again! I finally have Firefox working again on my Mac. I had tried everything reasonable - remove all plugins, reinstall, remove preferences - but had no luck. Today I went fill nuclear, tracking down and removing EVERYTHING even vaguely related.
Snow Leopard is not lying to you When I upgraded to Snow Leopard, my free disk space jumped impressively, going from 52% used to just 37% - a savings of 11,514,359,808 bytes. Most of that is probably due to dropping Universal Binaries - no point to those as Snow Leopard only works on Intel Macs (Rosetta, which lets you *run* Power PC binaries, is still an optional install). None of it has anything to do with Apple's "Base 10 change".
Slow Firefox DNS Mac OS X Leopard I have been experiencing some intermittent and very strange problems with Firefox and Google. These began right after I upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard, and I'm not even sure where to start debugging this. The symptoms are simple enough: Firefox suddenly cannot resolve any Google.com address after OS X awakes from a nap.
