Why I prefer Safari to Firefox?
Like other web browsers such as Mozilla, Firefox, ..., etc, Safari suffers from
web sites that doesn't work properly with it because Internet Explorer/Netscape
are two most popular web browsers.
To most people, Firefox has more feathers than Safari and more compatiable!
However, I stick to Safari when I switched from PC to Mac. Otherwise, whoever
maintain the Web site will never know that there is a growing Mac population
and will never get around to fixing the Web site.
Government branches and Commerical institutions such as banks, insurance companies,
mutual funds companies, on-line stock brokers, ...,etc will fix their web sites if you use
Safari.
Whenever you can, use either Safari alone or Safari and Firefox in turn, so you
do a favour to others in future!

How to clean deleted widgets left over
Actually, when you delete an unused widget from Dashboard by clicking
Manage Widgets ... followed by another click on minus sign next to the
widget, there are still junk files such as Cache/Preference files left over!
To clean it up, go to Library and under Cache/Preference to identify these
junk files and delete them.
If you find your Mac is getting a bit slow, it is worthwhile to do so!
