G4/G5 optimized firefox builds are faster...

After Firefox 1.1 goes full cocoa, nobody is going to want Camino.

Cool. With Firefox having a tendency to go braindead in its 1.0 release, it's nice to have a stable Gecko browser for testing things.

Where did you see that 1.1 would be full Cocoa? The 1.1 release slated for 3/2005 should reflect a more HIG-compliant interface, but it's still going to be a XUL app. At best, one day they make use Quartz instead of QuickDraw

They're closely related browsers serving different needs. I like my FoxyTunes, AdBlock, Web Developer Toolbar and PR Googlebar, but I also like spell checking in forms, true Aqua widgets, and apps that look like they were written for the Mac.

Not on my G5 here. Testing the javascript capability’s with BenchJS Camino is faster (under 10 seconds) than the G5 optimized FireFox (17 seconds)
