sanctified Veteran Posted February 26, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 26, 2014 My experience with Safari on Mavericks has been far from pleasant. From the horrible autofill (that is not quite fixed on 10.9.2) to many problems with scrips on many sites I visit. I used to use Firefox heavily on Windows, so I returned to firefox and sideloaded all my old addins thanks to Sync. However the GUI is quite irregular. Is the Asutralis charged Aurora stable and compatible? Or maybe there's a Firefox skin that replicates the feel and looks of Safari? Thankls in advance.

Hum Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Maybe some help here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-mac But I thought Safari was faster than Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rk_b0mb Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yes, Aurora is stable. I've been using it for the past few months on my Mac. Download it here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/aurora/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it uses your Firefox profile. As far as extension computability goes, I haven't had any issues with my extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly feels faster and the GUi is more sane. f0rk_b0mb 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allannyholm Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 There's Firefox skins and userstyles that gives the look at feel of Safari. based on you using the version before Australis kicks in - after Australis these themes and userstyles won't work - that's my belief anyway. These are what I used: Theme called Default Mod https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/defaultmod/ And for just having the default Firefox skin but with having a userstyle applied - then change the toolbar buttons to small rather than what they are normally: http://userstyles.org/styles/46806/firefox-4-mac-theme-changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
