I never really liked Firefox just because i always thought it was just as good as my now 2nd favorite browser, Opera. It had all the same capabilities and actually Opera was the first to have tabbed browsing and is the safest of all of them. When I heard about the new Firefox i wanted to try it out considering i needed it anyways to test out my websites. I got the iFox Smooth skin also to test out the skins. I have to say i love it. The spell check it awesome. I would have downloaded Firefox just for the spell check. What are your favorite new features? Have you even downloaded it yet? Will you?
The reason i do is becuase more or less of the spell check! i need it trust me!
I also like the addon that they have added on that when firefox crashes, it automatically on the next restart asks you if you want to open the last session or start a new session, and best of all, it even puts the text you were typing back, so if you had a post worth 50 credits going, and Firefox crashed on you because you were also downloading music, burning a movie, and converting a movie to DVD format.... then it will automaticaally put all of that text back for you.
FF is more superior IMO to all browsers... out of all the ones i've used, it uses up the least Ram or CPU usage out of IE, Opera, and other browsers... and i also find it the safest
I don't have Firefox 2.0 yet, but I will download it and install, and ofcourse, try it... Ever since I migrated to Firefox, from IE, I can't switch back... I have everything I need in Firefox, and it;s extensions and plugins are awesome... And, I have no doubt, that Firefox 2.0, will kick the rear end, with new possibilities, and most importantly, stability, and effectiveness...
I have Opera, and it has spell check. Had it before Fx did. You have to download the dictionary, but it has a spell check feature. I don't use Fx because it takes forever to load, even without the extensions. SeaMonkey, with all the extensions, opens up as fast as Opera. Not only that, SeaMonkey is a 4-in-1 internet suite. Eventhough it has a few bugs, if the bugs were fixed, and it had more extension support, it would own Fx. But until those minor bugs are fix, i'm sticking with Opera.
I haven't tried FireFox 2 yet, as I am hoping more extensions will become compatible by the time I get it, so hopefully I don't have to ditch any of my extensions. FireFox 1 was infinitely better than Internet Explorer 6, so I am hoping FireFox 2 will be better than Internet Explorer 7. I was going to try Opera at some point, because apparently that is faster and even more secure than FireFox.
now, Firefox (no matter the version) has become indispensable for me, because of the extensions installed for it (mostly for webdevelop & seo) so yes, I use Firefox 2.0 (and it`s previous versions), and I`ll NEVER switch to IE )
a bit offtopic -> btw @Albus: superior has no comparison degree
I've heard good things about it for the last two weeks and I decided to upgrade tonight. It's a little upsetting that the snapper plug in isn't available, hopefully someone will update that.
The spell checking thing has been pretty handy in the first five minutes.
i have been using firefox 2 for about 2 months now i was using the RC version but the RC tended to crash abit. Since the official release i havent had any dramas with it. I also live the spell checker for web forms
It sounds really great. Im going to have to try it out soon. I wonder why Firefox hasnt asked me if I want to download the 2.0 version. I always forget to download it if it does not ask me. I think the spell check will be awesome, I wonder if it is already available in spanish also. Well I guess Ill go and get some sleep now, and maybe tomorrow I will remember to download it.
Albus, Galahad, and nutron have summed up everything I was just about to say about Firefox 2.0. I've been testing it since RC2 and I've never looked back, and now that they've made an official release I am forever using it. Thay's just how good it is.
I installed firefox and now it wont work keep getting error that cant find server. I uninstall and reinstall and the same thing no resolution. Can someone please tell me how to get firefox to work.
Ok, now running FF 2.0 from my USB drive. It seems pretty much like the old versions in most respects. There are some little interface changes that make things a little nicer to work with. Also, the new feeds features are pretty nice. Otherwise, not a ton has changed. It's still the lean and slim broswer it always was.

No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite
having no huge features, was a great update. Version 3, however, totally messes everything up. Its
default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history
everytime I type a new address. Plus the slide out is huge now making the whole thing feel t....
Yesterday was the biggest milestone in Firefox history they just hit 500 Million downloads of their
most famous software the Firefox web browser. All I have is WOW! and such a short time to of

then everyone else's, that number isn't that surprising because of the popularity it has

be surprised if it hits 1 billion in less the time though. SOURCE ....

QUOTE A serious flaw in how Firefox handles log-ons could be used by identity thieves to dupe
users into disclosing passwords, a noted security researcher said Wednesday. Aviv Raff, an Israeli
researcher best known for ferreting out browser flaws, revealed the Firefox spoofing vulnerability
on his personal blog, and posted a demonstration video there. He did not go public with any
proof-of-concept code or working exploit, however. According to Raff, Firefox 2.0.0.11 -- Mozilla

A new version of the Firefox browser, now available for testing mainly by developers, offers
improvements on finding frequently visited Web sites and tools for running Web applications without
a live Internet connection. The Beta 1 version of Firefox 3 released this week still has problems,
including the inability to run newer Web-mail programs from Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp., and a
final version for consumers isn't expected for several months. But it offers a window on
what's to come. Many of its new features concern bookmarks, an area typically slow to ....
Well as we get closer and closer the release of Firefox 3.0, mozilla comes out with Alpha 8. In
this update it is security rich this time as they bring in anti-malware warnings and protection
against rogue extension updates. They also beefed up the security to the extension auto updates to
help prevent people from redirecting you to malicious sites because of the way the auto update
works. This time they have set it up in a way that it checks the url of the installation manifest
and makes sure its the correct one or it doesn't get updated. QUOTE "Firefox aut....

images and a few line of text-it's the home page which is small. Can you take a look and tell me

I see as firefox as my main choice but its really up to you on what you choose: Firefox is an

one window. Because of its new scent, noone has bagan to look for a way to deliver viruses thrrough
