10.6.2 update for Snow Leopard fixes lots of issues. But not like 10.6.1 update, the 10.6.2 will keep us busy fixing pesky font problem in Firefox (the fix is here if you need it). I just updated the fix tutorial with screenshot, so it’s more newbie friendly I hope.

The interesting part is, they have font fixes list:

• an issue with font spacing 
• an issue in which some Fonts are missing 
• font duplication issues
• an issue with some PostScript Type 1 fonts not working properly

Maybe 10.6.3 will be luckier.

If your Firefox interface font somehow become bold after Snow Leopard installed (or its updates, 10.6.2 for example), and you also have bold (or italic) fonts in several sites that is using Helvetica, you need to do this small and easy fix.

Open the Font Book application and make sure you don’t have Firefox active.

Find "lucida" (this is the font in Firefox interface), and delete Lucida Grande (Regular) by right click & click "Reveal in Finder", you will have to enter administrator passwords to delete it. And do not worry, you don’t even have to make a backup, because Mac will recreate this font for system purpose.

"Mozilla’s Firefox 3 release event yesterday was an epic success. The servers logged over 8 million downloads during the 24-hour download day, and Mozilla has declared victory after exceeding its initial goal of 5 million download" — Ryan Paul

For that reason, we are honored to receive the Firefox 3 Download Day certificate from Mozilla team!

PS. Well, you can get your own certificate too here.

While Firefox 3 release date is just around the corner, we can get it first before anyone else! Now that’s leet act!

I’ve been using Mozilla Firefox since version 0.9; And I just couldn’t stop using it. Even though it crash often (GMail, new Y!Mail simply doesn’t like Firefox), I’m sure everybody can’t dump this baby thanks to its awesome extensions.

So, long story short, I’m having love-and-hate relationship with Mozilla Firefox. Due to extensive crashes on Mac machine, I was trying to forget the extensions and use other browser (Safari, Opera). And you know where it leads to, … yes you’re right, back to Firefox.
