I am confused by this and your other reply to Tee re bloated browsers, 
code sizes etc

Quo Vadis - Mozilla ?

We now have Mozilla Firebird, Firefox, Camino (also changed from the 
previous name?) browsers. I understand Camino is designed specifically 
for the Mac ? And Firefox ?  Which to use , if any?
Mozilla seem to be a good crowd with useful websites and support forums 
- better than Safari in this regard?

I like Safari - but :

1. I can't get rid of this stupid blue panel which envelopes the 
Bookmarks Save window - and limits the number of folders to which I can 
save
2. It's not URL Manager compatible - which I bought to overcome the 
above  fault
3. Its autofill function is determinedly fickle,( only works sometimes) 
  and not accessing info from Address Book as promised.  Not as user 
friendly as the customizable Auto fill function in Explorer
4. Apple doesn't seem to provide much support - and is slow to 
improve/upgrade?

But then Autofill, which for me is an essential need in a browser, is 
NOT available in Mozilla's browsers at all - despite many promises to 
implement such.

What is your recommendation for short and long term best choice of a 
browser for Panther OSX ?

Help !!!   :-)
