Firefox is *just* the browser, using a cross platform front end to the gecko rendering engine, it also includes an extensions scheme so that you can extend it to be as expansive as mozilla, but only installing what you want when you want, but at its core firefox focuses on being a good browser, not a browser, irc client, news and mail reader all in one like mozilla.
Camino is the osx only "as mac like as possible" front end to the gecko engine. Its geared to be a mac app, not a "every platform" solution like firefox. Its supposed to interact with the os and other mac applications better than firefox since its built from the ground up to be x only. Its also not as extensible as firefox but instead focuses on being a browser with a kick ass human interface guidelines complient-ish browser.
All three are based on the same engine, but are geared towards different goals.

Hi all..
I have always been a Explorer & Netscape biy for many years.
I have jumped to Camino for the last few weeks and think its great.
Anyway with all the Hype over Firefox I downloaded it yesterday and found it no faster than Camino. Seems to work on a couple of sites better than Camino but Camino is beta.
My question is what is the difference between the 2 browsers and what purpose is in having 2 of the same browsers from Mozilla?
