Camino 2.0.6: Gecko 1.9.0, bunch o’ bug fixes

17 November 2010 796 views No Comment



There is a real attraction to this Mac-only browser. From AppleScript compatibility and tab previews, which look a bit like Safari’s Top Sites, this FireFox variant of a feather has a feature set designed to appeal specifically to the rest of us.

CaminoBrowser has shipped Camino 2.0.6 (release notes), which is a maintenance update pure and simple (feature set info):

• Upgraded to the latest 1.9.0 version of the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine, which includes several critical security and stability fixes
• Flash and Silverlight plug-ins no longer continually log errors to the Console on Mac OS X 10.6 when Camino is hidden or a browser window is minimized
• Camino can now save usernames and passwords for web page forms which manipulate the username or password via JavaScript during form submission
• Creating, editing, and removing bookmarks now updates the Spotlight metadata more reliably
• Downloaded files that do not have a content-length header will no longer appear as canceled downloads after restarting Camino

Another nifty Camino feature, which arrived with v2.0.5, is an automated Flash version checker, a real convenience given the steady torrent of security and stability updates from Adobe.
