Details

Mozilla .9.3 has many minor incompatibilities on the macintosh that should be fixed:
Debug:XPToolkit
 * beep test makes no sound
Preferences
 * themes preferences page doesn't have enough space for all buttons
 * default screen resolution should be 72 dpi
System
 * application icon is missing
Conversion to Mozilla
 * when importing data, the address book info from netscape is not imported
> beep test makes no sound

True for beeptest, soundtest. Confirm but dup of Bug 64156, Bug 64155

> themes preferences page doesn't have enough space for all buttons

Dup 85226 , Bug 93866

> default screen resolution should be 72 dpi

The 72dpi of NS4.7x begin to be a major weakness on Mac, I don't think that it's
a great idea to set Moz to 72dpi...

> application icon is missing

Rebuild desktop.

> when importing data, the address book info from netscape is not imported

dup but I don't find the exact bug...

Bug 64156.

> * themes preferences page doesn't have enough space for all buttons

same as bug 85226?

> * default screen resolution should be 72 dpi

1) Defaulting to 72 ppi leads to trouble, because Windows-based authors think
that that 1 pt == 4/3 px everywhere.
2) For a long time, Apple has been shipping displays whose real physical
resolution exceeds 72ppi.

> * application icon is missing

Worksforme. Have you tried rebuilding the desktop file?

> * when importing data, the address book info from netscape is not imported

Please file a bug with more detail in the Profile Migration component.

nc4 addressbook import requires a commercial product which we don't have, 
manually export using nc4 and then import that file w/ mozilla.
