Wow, I have only had Mail crash on me once (2004-07-16) since I started using it as my primary e-mail client back in September 2002.narco said:I've had Safari crash a LOT (probably the most crashed program next to Word and Mail.app)

Have you ever thought about trying to find out why it is crashing so much? Because I don't think that that is normal for it.
I haven't had very many Mail crashes either. I don't remember how many, of if there have been any at all. Safari unexpectedly quits on me occasionally. I haven't used Firefox enough to judge its tendencies regarding crashes.RacerX said:Wow, I have only had Mail crash on me once (2004-07-16) since I started using it as my primary e-mail client back in September 2002.

In FF you can do this with cmd-click...mainstreetmark said:I miss how the middle mouse button (scroll wheel button) opened a new tab in Safari.
Nermal said:Unless it's been updated recently, the Mac version of FF is really buggy. For example, start a download, then close the browser window. Now open a new browser window. See the problem?
I have a copy of Camino on my system which I use for the occasional page that won't open in Safari. It's easy to load it too - just highlight the page address and press Cmd-Shift-U.
As I posted in another thread, Firefox bookmarks synchronizer is much better than the $100 a year Safari solution, especially for people who have to work on a pc at work. And it's free. Using the Bookmarks Synchronizer extension, you point it at your ftp site (I got a free acount at gurble.com) and upload your bookmarks to it. Thereafter, you can have all your Firefox browsers synchronized on different machines, be they linux, windows, or mac.wrldwzrd89 said:Another advantage to Safari (at least for .Mac members) is the bookmark synchronization with .Mac - no other browser on any platform that I know of does this.
On the pre-Mac OS X versions of Mail (and MailViewer) all optimization was done manually. But now it is done in the background while Mail is running. If it is hanging when you go to quit, there is a very good chance it is in the middle of doing house keeping and needs a little time to finish. If you force quit while it is doing this you run the risk of damaging the mailboxes that are being optimized which could lead to further crashes and instability of Mail.Fiveos22 said:Since I've been using Panther (about a week after it was released) Mail has crashed regularly (usually 1 out of 4 times I've used it). It occurs when quit the app and it just hangs...forever, until I force quit the process.
It's nice to know that Firefox has this ability, too, by installing one of the numerous extensions available for it. However, I get too much value from my (upgraded) .Mac subscription to switch to Firefox from Safari.minton said:Wow, there's like 4 different current threads on Firefox vs. Safari.

You should just use the terminal. Creat a file called .netrc in your home directory containing:bigandy said:i'm going to write a script/programme that can do this with safari's bookmarks ...
can applescript handle sending stuff to FTP servers? actually scrub that i'd just get it to tell Transmit what to do
machine your.ftpserver.com
login your_login
password your_password
#!/bin/sh
ftp your.ftpserver.com <<**
prompt off
cd /private # wherever you want the bookmarks to reside on the server
put /path/to/your/safari_bookmarks # for uploads - for downloads, use 'get'
bye
