Thank you for downloading Camino! Please take a moment to read this document as well as the accompanying Release Notes to find out what’s new and to learn about known issues.

Installation

To install Camino, simply drag the Camino icon onto your hard disk. We recommend that you copy it to the Applications folder. You can then Eject the disk image. If you like, you can drag Camino to your Dock to have it easily accessible at all times.

After installation, you may want to import bookmarks from another browser. While using Camino, select “Import Bookmarks” from the “File” menu. In the resulting dialog, choose the web browser to import bookmarks from, and click “Import”. If your web browser is not listed, you can import any readable bookmarks file using the “Select a file” option and choosing the bookmarks file you wish to import.

Where information is kept on disk

When you first run Camino, it makes a folder in ~/Library/Application Support (where ~ is your Home directory) called “Camino”. This folder contains your ”profile” information (bookmarks, cookies, etc.).

There are two files in your profile that you might need to know about. bookmarks.plist contains your bookmarks. You might want to make copies of this file regularly if your bookmarks contain valuable information. prefs.js contains most of the application preferences. Not all options are exposed in the preferences window, so you might see advice to “edit your prefs file.” To do that, drag prefs.js onto your favorite editor, make whatever changes are necessary, and save. Make sure the file is saved in plain text format.

Previous versions of Camino used a folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Chimera for the profile. On first run, your profile will be copied to the new location and upgraded automatically. The old profile remains unchanged so you can revert to older versions of Camino if you desire. This version no longer uses the “salted” directory inside the profile.

Camino stores its cache in ~/Library/Caches, and settings related to window positioning and toolbar customizations in ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.camino.plist.
