Website:Migrating from Firefox

Welcome, Firefox Users!

Upset that Firefox 2 is a major step backward for Firefox as a Mac app? Looking for all that Gecko goodness in a browser that looks, feels, and behaves like it belongs on your Mac? We believe Camino, Firefox's Mac-only older cousin, is the right browser for you. Welcome!

We're aware that switching browsers can be a jarring, perhaps painful experience, so this page is designed to point out some common differences and help Camino feel right at home on your desktop and in your Dock.

Migrating Your Firefox Profile

• Importing bookmarks
• Copy across hostperm.1
• Probably best to not migrate prefs.js/user.js
• userContent.css

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Search
• History
• Use the System Prefs to customize

Alternate Behaviors

• Bookmarks bar is a toolbar
• FAYT
• Setting up "I'm Feeling Lucky"
• Adding Search Engines (heh)

Extending Camino

• PMC
  • shout-out to a few that mimic popular Fx extensions / features?

    (CamiStyle = Stylish; CamiBlock = FlashBlock & Adblock; Geekmonkey = GreaseMonkey)

    A lot migrating Firefox users miss keyword.enabled - either link hidden prefs or MoreCamino

  • themes
• prefPane docs
