  Not really. Internet Explorer is the only supported browser ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd979184.aspx ) and they dont make that for Macs anymore.
  This article contains a few suggestions for work-arounds of varying practicality: http://collinsdynamicscrm.blogspot.com/2011/05/using-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-with.html

  First, sorry my english...

  Unfortunately you can not, so support for all browsers is not done yet, it has been widely discussed, there is no doubt that we'll soon have this possibility, or through a rollup or the next version.

  You'll find versions for mobile mode, besides of course http://crm.organization.com/m.

  But I think we all are paid...

  Install parallels and put Internet Explorer on that.  That will work.

  What I was proposing was using software called Parallels Desktop for Mac

  http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

  It allows you to run windows programs on your mac and will allow you to run IE on your mac computers.  This will allow you to access CRM.

  You can install a plugin  'IE Tab'  in your firefox browser and can acess CRM from Firefox.  Microsoft is planning to release a version of CRM which can be accessed in multiple browsers.

  I have seen this suggestion before but IEtab isn't really a good option anymore as the project is kind of dead and it also requires a previous version of IE to already be installed on the system.

  I will admit though that Cross browser functionality is coming in a future service release.

  You would set up a windows terminal server and have user's log into the the server with an RDP client (like remote desktop for windows) and then they are basically working in windows on that server and can use IE to access CRM.

  The Citrix access question is really beyond me.  I would mark an answer to this thread if I were you and start a fresh one that is titled to the citrix issue.  More people might jump in.
