Granted it’ll be a while until it arrives on my desktop, but the Firefox team has began adding Aqua elements into their web browser. Checkboxes, drop down menus and buttons are on their way. Users probably won’t see them until next year…

I didn't mean to say I don't like Firefox, because I do. I use it 90% of the time. However, I thought it'd get more Mac'ish. Either way, I'll still use it.

What the Firefox team meant by "aquafication" is making it looks like a Mac OS X application. In the meantime, you can make it more polished with <a href="http://www.amake.us/software/firefoxy/" rel="nofollow">Firefoxy</a>. I personally prefer Camino over Firefox because Firefox is a bit buggy and unstable on Mac OS X whereas Camino is pretty usable and stable. I highly recommend you use Camino 0.9a1, which can be downloaded <a href="http://www.caminobrowser.org/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. On the Windows side, Firefox is the best browser for sure, but on the Mac side, it's definitely not. I'd list Safari, Camino, and Shiira as a better browser than Firefox. You also mentioned it'd be great if the Camino and Firefox development teams work together on Firefox, but that can't be done unless Camino is abandoned. The Camino team is not really part of the Mozilla Foundation by any chance and is maintained by a bunch of volunteers. Therefore, there is no reason why they have to work on Firefox instead of their preferred Camino. If you don't like Firefox, why not switch to Camino, instead?
