Firefox 2.0 is out - Page 3

It's out but soft masked in portage. There are ubuntu packages for edgy but not dapper as of yet.

Sometimes this can be a pain for me. It'll start up fine and other times it won't start up. I'll then have to use ctrl+alt+delete and end the firefox task.

:undecided:

Nuke the Firefox profile and start again (you'll lose bookmarks, extensions, etc. unfortunately).

IE7 may well tempt me back when it goes gold, but no way am I using an MS beta on a production machine. Gets it's mits everywhere and I value my reliability too much.

IE7 was released as final last week....
It was well publicised...

Installed the new FF2.0 this morning...
Uninstalled just after lunch...
Still hate it.

I neither recieved a security bulletin nor does my WSUS installation appear to know about it. Nor does it appear to be on Windows update :/

I've got version 7.0.5730.11 on this machine.

Was officially released on the 18/19th

I'll upgrade the main rig then, see if it can tempt me back.

It's not bad at all tbh. First full update to IE since 2001...
I've had a couple of issues but nothing we couldn't work around.

Still prefer Opera though.

Think Firefox beat Opera to the punch with me. I was sick of IE and Firefox was there, for free, at the right time. Just cant get used to Opera now, feels like Firefox just 'wrong' now I'm used to it.

I used to use Opera for a while, but then Firefox came out and I just preferred it. Personal taste I guess.
