    Saw it at TUAW (nice blog btw). This guy has made some unofficial firefox builds specially for Macs, both Intel and PPC:

    You can also download a version with acqua widgets which looks prettier. Still downloading it, let's see if it's as fast as Safari, Ffox in a Mac sometimes lags too much.

    I tried this one a while ago, while it may be 'optimized' it took forever to load, even longer than FF does. So I just trashed it.

    uhh... I somehow don't feel comfortable loading a piece of software that was modified by some guy...
    I have no idea who the modifier is. Maybe he's trusted, but I dunno.

    That's weird. You sure you got the Intel version?
