Brief Hands-On Report--Mozilla Project Released Camino 1.0.2

Camino is the Mozilla Project's Mac OS X-native Web Browser and an excellent one. Camino is our backup to Safari when a web page doesn't work with Safari which fortunately is getting rarer all the time. Here is what v1.0.2 brings:

• Fixed several critical security issues, including those fixed in version 1.8.0.4 of the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine.
  
• Fixed an issue in Camino 1.0.1 where proxy auto-config (PAC) files were ignored.
  
• Fixed an issue where Camino's bookmark metadata could not be added to the list of locations Spotlight is prevented from searching.
  
• Fixed an issue where using Camino on a network with many Bonjour hosts could significantly degrade performance.
  
• Fixed an issue where Camino would ignore the "Link from other application" tabbed browsing preference in certain cases.
  
• Fixed an issue where Camino displayed some search fields on Apple.com incorrectly.

We downloaded Camino 1.0.2 from its Web site and installed it over v1.0.1. In several hours of Web browsing we encountered no problems, even with frequently problematic sites like Edmunds.com and MercedesBenzFinancial.com. [Bill Fox & Dana Baggett]
