Firefox Goes Universal (Intel and PowerPC)
Several readers have noted that the Firefox browser has been updated to 1.5.0.2. Amongst other things, this includes support for Intel processors in the new Macs. New features listed include:
- Universal Binary support for Mac OS X which provides native support for Macintosh with Intel Core processors. Firefox supports the enhancements to performance introduced by the new MacIntel chipsets.
- Improvements to product stability.
- Several security fixes.
Current Intel Mac Firefox users need to download the Intel version directly, as the updater won't succesfully update a PowerPC binary to a Universal one.
