firefox 2.0 is out

Dana · 10-25-2006

Anyone using it yet?
It was just released...

Is it good/worth upgrading to or do you think there are bugs to be worked out?

Thanks,
Dana

Downloaded it first thing this morning. Love it so far but none of my plugins work yet because they haven't been updated. :(

Hmmm... sweet! I will have to check this out later. Can you run this and the last stable version at the same time? Or does 2.0 overwrite the older version?

Are you sure this is the case? Almost all my plugins worked.

It overwrites the old version so you can't run both simultaneously.

Even if you install in a seperate folder if you have one firefox.exe running, running the otherone just opens another window of the current running firefox.exe

Yep. Adsense notifier and a couple others work fine, but performancing and some of the others I mostly use still need an update for 2.0.

I guess these plugins haven't been updated yet. A good number which were updated work well now !!

For me the jury is still "out" on FireFox. Not sure how much I like it at all. Probably because I am so used to IE in spite of the flaws -- Even Netscape Communicator -- I don't much like that one either. Just installed the Newest IE -- So far it's pretty good -- still has some obvious bugs because it will freez up on me periodically for no particular reason at all -- but I'm liking it. It has Automatic web-site checking for "phishing" sites -- tabs, all that goodness. So at this point in time, my vote is IE 7:|

You're in the minority here, Babycarml. I would wage money that if you give ff an honest try, you'll be a convert :)

I read about firefox four or five times before finally taking the plunge.

I challenge you to try it for a week and then go back to IE and see what you think.
hope you'll give it some thought..

Why not just use both or three actually including Opera ;)

And I also got Flock
