Longtime Mac users are likely to be familiar with Camino, a Mac-specific browser based on Mozilla's Gecko engine, the same engine used in Netscape 6/7, Firefox, and other browsers.Officially. Users of Camino 1.6.x who need Java support on Mac OS X 10.6 and who do not wish to upgrade to Camino 2.0 Beta 4 will need to perform the following steps to obtain a compatible version of the Java Embedding Plugin and re-enable Java. Note: the following steps must be performed again with each new Camino 1.6.x release.
Fortunately, Mac users have many more browsers to choose from than they did when Camino started ten years ago.

About Camino 2.1
Camino Browser For Mac
This release displays web pages with Gecko 1.9.2, the same rendering engine used by the popular Firefox 3.6 web browser, improving web compatibility and sharing many of the security fixes and Gecko improvements that are in that version of Firefox.
The features listed below are just some of the many changes in Camino 2.1.
Camino 2.1 is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and later.
Features in Camino 2.1

Enhanced location bar autocomplete
A completely rewritten autocomplete now searches both bookmarks and history and matches against page titles as well as page URLs.
Changes to plug-in support
Camino now disables certain insecure or incompatible versions of common plug-ins.
A new 'Internet Plug-Ins' folder in the profile allows for Camino-only plug-ins.
A new hidden preference allows disabling specific plug-ins.

Known Issues
For information about other issues or problems, please visit our Help page.
- Some routers are incompatible with the DNS prefetch feature included in Camino 2.1.x. If pages take an extremely long time to load or fail to load completely, check with your router manufacturer for updated firmware. If no firmware updates are available or they do not fix the problem, disable prefetch by setting the
network.dns.disablePrefetchhidden preference totrue. - If 'Ask me before accepting each cookie' is checked, Camino will display a cookie dialog for each cookie request from a web page.
- Incompatible third-party plug-ins:
- PDF Browser Plugin version 2.4 and newer are incompatible with Camino; to display PDF files in Camino on Mac OS X 10.6 or newer, use version 2.3 of the plug-in.
- Incompatible third-party software:
- 1Password is known to crash Camino in some cases, particularly when customizing the toolbar. If you experience crashes, try removing 1Password's Camino integration.

The Java Embedding Plugin (which provides Java support in Camino) included in Camino 1.6.x is incompatible with Java on Mac OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' and will cause Camino to crash when visiting any pages using Java applets. While a compatible version of the Java Embedding Plugin exists, that version will not run on Mac OS X 10.3.9, which Camino 1.6.x supports. As a result of these incompatibilities, Camino 1.6.10 and later will disable Java on Mac OS X 10.6.
Users of Camino 1.6.x who need Java support on Mac OS X 10.6 and who do not wish to upgrade to Camino 2.0 Beta 4 will need to perform the following steps to obtain a compatible version of the Java Embedding Plugin and re-enable Java. Note: the following steps must be performed again with each new Camino 1.6.x release.
- Quit Camino 1.6.10 or later.
- Replace the Java Embedding Plugin inside of the Camino application with version 0.9.7.2 or later of the Java Embedding Plugin.
- The Install JEP for 10.6 AppleScript application can perform this step automatically.
- Restart Camino.
Java will now be operational until the next version of Camino 1.6.x is released, at which point users will need to perform these steps again.
