Firefox 2.0

[Schucz]

Just incase you didn't know ;) Firefox2 'Gold' was released the other day (and even Redmond sent a nice gift (http://fredericiana.com/2006/10/24/from-redmond-with-love/).

You can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

I decided to finally start using FF2 RC2 like 3 days before Gold came out, so was happy to see my 'unstable' usage period would be cut short when gold came around : D

Also worth noting is that IE7 was released last week for general consumption. What do you think will happen to Firefox's market share now that MS has finally decided to update IE? Some people think IE7's new standards support, like certain missing CSS features like :hover for non-links, means we can stop really caring about which browser choice the user has made. Writer Kevin Yank over at Sitepoint shares his view in the latest Tech Times (http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=151&format=html).

Just downloaded and installed it. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and really like it. Makes me feel better as well that it does a better job at security threats than IE.

[Bobby]

I'm using FF as well and like it, will download Gold, I assume it overwrites prior versions?

[Kevin]

it did for me. Installed like a charm

[Jonathan]

Woohoo! Thanks for the update. Its installedbravo;

[JaredB]

Will download as well - will never go back to IE permanently here.

What is the 'Gold' edition supposed to do that the regular version I now have doesn't?

[Keith]

Nothing like always being the odd man out, just downloaded IE 7, luv the tabing and other special features, very cool.............give this a try for a while

[Harv]

I try to avoid MS as much as I can. I've used FF for 2 years without a hiccup. I'll stick with it.

Just over about 18 months for me, but also without a hiccup. I like FF very much!

You're not alone. After using FF for a while (including 2) I DL IE 7 and find it better. Best new feature is saving an array of tabs as your home page so I have 5 sites as my home. MS are great at stealing ideas and I think they beat FF this time around. :)

In FF you can open up a ton of tabbed sites all at one time. Just store your starting websites in a folder and right click on that folder name and open them all up "Open in Tabs". I have 5 or 6 that I open up all at once.
