Firefox 2 is out
It is a great browser... some plugins have to be reinstalled tho but it is worth the hassle.
I saw this post on another board and it made me download and install it asap. "Good Firefox feature This rox.. I just had a power outage and Firefox saved all my sites. When I turned on my computer and started firefox I just pressed "restore session" and poof, all my tabs/windows were restored.." Download them here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...andidates/rc1/ |

Firefox is really turning into a great browser but I only use it for a few things like reviewing and geek work. One of my favorite Firefox features is having multiple user profiles. I have one for reviewing that doesn't block popups and asks before accepting cookies. Then I have another one that blocks popups and accepts all cookies without asking. Not sure if you can do this on other OSs but under OSX you can have more then one copy of Firefox running at the same time with different settings for each copy. |

Arghhhh...submit yer sites ya ruddy swabs!

I'm still running nice and stable on 1.5...with developer extensions and session saver. Think I'll wait til the new one gets shaken out a bit before upgrading.
That said, about the only time I open IE anymore is to test my own pages. Other than that, it's FF all the way |

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

That which does not kill us, will try, try again.

Are you sure this is the Sci-Fi Convention? It's full of nerds!

I still use Mozilla 1.7.12, as my browser client of choice. I really can't see any point in upgrading to Firefox, other then a few new bells and whistles.

Is there a way to turn off the bells and stop the whistling? I know the first thing I do when I install ICQ is turn off all its sounds. |

My eyes are up here.

Why is the new Firefox so great?
I have the old one installed and I find it's just another browser. I still use IE 99.9% of the time. Or is the Firefox movement just to stick it to Microsoft?

Oh nice one lassiter. I had no idea that the community coders had carried on the mozilla project, after Moz dropped it for firefox. Do you know if SeaMonkey has the ability to intergrate the email db if I wanted to port if from Moz to SM?
Being a creature of habit, I'd love to setup SM, but porting stuff is something that seems like a bit of a headache to me. -N

There are still some rough spots compared to Mozilla - an intermittent, minor mail window bug (which is mentioned in the "known issues" file) and the relatively weak junk mail filter (which isn't mentioned) - but I too am very happy that the suite will continue, under whatever name. |

Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless

I switched and was happy after a few weeks. the tabbed browsing is nice, and I find there isn't as much of a system lag when flipping between windows and doing 10 things at once (like freesite submits). |
