Firefox 2.0

Anyone using Firefox 2.0?

I downloaded it today and it seems to work just fine. It appears to be a bit more polished than 1.0.

Yep - downloaded it today - seems okay so far...

I also downloaded IE7 a couple of weeks ago - vast improvement over IE6. IE7 is now FF like in that it has tabs. I'm not game to do banking with IE7 yet - I'll wait until most of the security issues are dealt with but I do like the user interface on IE7 - it is easy to open and close tabs with a single click.

I'm still prefer FF as my main web browser.

I've ogt a copy of Firefox 2 but apparently the student study system at uni doesn't like it yet so I'll be waiting a while till I install it:(

I've been using it since the beta version a couple of months ago. It's faster and more stable than version 1.5.

If it's not Beta anymore, why doesn't FF think there's an update available.

Probably to give the other distributing servers time to get it. I got it last week sometime

The updater in version 1.5.0.7 will only see a minor security update to 1.5.0.8. This is because of an issue with 1.5.x

The best thing to do is go to www.mozilla.com and download the full version. There have been problems for some people installing 2.0 over the top of 1.5, so either uninstall the previous version or backup. Having said that, I had no problems at all.

Tabbed browsing. Firefox popularized tabbed browsing, enabling multiple Web sites to be viewed as separate tabs contained within a single browser window, and improving people’s efficiency by helping them better organize their desktops. In Firefox 2, tabbed browsing has been further improved with the addition of individual close buttons on each tab, enhanced tab navigation features, and a session restore system that automatically restores previously-open windows and tabs when a new browsing session is started.


Are you sure they aren't describing Opera? That para sounds exactly like what Opera does and has done for a fair while now.

Who was first with Tabbed Browsing?

Just downloaded and installed the update and no problems here either. It went straight over the top of 1.5

What an interesting read. People can argue over the most trivial things. Anyone compared using IE7 (tabbed) against Opera and FF?

I've read this thread twice now and still can't find the argument. :confused:

I read it again too. Wasted my time again. :(

Once was enough. :eek:

there's only one thing about FF2.0 that really peeves me... the way it's in-built spiel-chequer insists on informing me that I've misspelled correctly spelled English words and offers up American bastardisations. :mad:

Anyone got any ideas how to replace the ruddy dictionary with a real one? :confused:
