What sucks about Firefox on the Mac?

If you use firefox on a Mac, you know that is it not that good, slow and you prefer to use Safari over Firefox. Colin Barrett is asking all those Firefox Mac users to send him an email, macfirefox (at) iamthewalr (d0t) us, with your complaints.

To start you off, here are some things people want:

  • Native Form Widgets (currently scheduled for Firefox 3)
  • Keychain Integration
  • Firefox should have a Unified toolbar (not completely hopeless, it turns out)
  • Performance could be better (as always)

If there are features in Camino/Safari/OmniWeb/iCab that you absolutely can’t live without, include them.
