Is now available. I have not installed it yet. I just downladed it. I know that there are some FF users here. I like it.

Let us know how it works. I love Firefox!

[David Lowry]

Been running it since sometime last week. I love it. The spell check thing is awesome.

For me, Firefox is the only way to fly. :)

Great to hear David. Is it at all possible that you could post a screen shot of the appearance?

Thanks, Ron

Firefox 2's going pretty well for me,

Main differences I've noticed are to do with the tab system. The button to close a tab is now on the actual tab, and not at the far right of the tab bar. They've also got a drop-down menu on the far right, and if you open a certain number of tabs, they won't get compressed any more, but instead the left and right buttons on the tab bar are used to move along the list. Or use the drop-down menu.

Downloading now, thanks!

That's really odd though, Firefox didn't tell me a new version was available, and I have auto-update on... wierd.

[ront]

Thanks Th232. I appreciate it. para-force, maybe the auto update did not work because it was a Version 2 now. Not a 1 something anymore. Just a thought.

[para-force]

Yeah, that could be.

Anyways, I'm loving it. Even though I try not to make spelling mistakes, it's nice there's a safeguard there now. :)

Thanks! :D

Mac version works good, I like that you can re-arrange the tabs.
Firefox is my main back-up to Safari.

I just installed it. So far so good. The spell checker is sweet.

thanks for the link. I am surprised that the auto-update thing for old firefox did not alert me to the new version.

edit: I just installed it. i like it :)

The spell checker is sweet.

Yes, yes it is...:cool:

I like the new FF2.0 very well so far. Nice upgrade. Does anyone here use Thunderbird?

Ron

[KSDbass]

I don't use Thunderbird, but I just started using FF2 and I love it! what themes are ya'll using?
edit: TH232, I see your into Overclocking, what are you running?

Good Lord, how'd you dig that up? Oh... wait... OCAU link.

Running a 2.8 GHz P4, not overclocked at the moment, since I don't really need it at the moment. If I need to, push it up to maybe a bit above 3 GHz? Pretty conservative, but with limited funds, replacing a blown CPU or motherboard isn't that cheap. As for the OCAU forum, more of an observer there.

As for Firefox themes, I'm using Noia 2.0 at the moment.

[deeker]

Thanks for the link to the update, Ron. I like it.

I'm using the roadsigns theme at the moment. I also had the Pimp theme and the walnut 'woodgrain' look for a while.

I use it on my Mac's and on Ubuntu and like it a lot.
