pcpro.co.uk — An alpha version of Firefox 2.0 should be released as a public beta next month. Although part of the long standing roadmap for the open source browser, the timetable was confirmed by the publication of the minutes of the Mozilla.org staff meeting held earlier this month.

Maybe they will finally put the close tab button in the actual tab. Then I wouldn't need Tab X.

jhaven, I think mastertech truely beleives the naive, misleading stuff he publishes on that site.

People with crashing or memory problems should try renaming their profile directory (c:document and settings[user name]Application DataMozilla" to mozilla-old, uninstall Firefox and delete the program directory "C:Program FilesMozilla Firefox". Then install the latest version of Firefox, import your bookmarks from the old file, and you shouldn't have any more problems.

"Firefox is WAY behind Opera if you use AJAX to repaint a large amount of data continuously. I've used it to provide realtime portfolio data updates to a trading system, and Firefox doesn't even come close."Maybe you shouldn't be using a WEB BROWSER to "provide realtime portfolio data updates to a trading system", for all that WebTOOpointOU must say...whatever happened to standalone clients...

Is this the version that doesn't randomly take 100% CPU after it's done rendering the page? I'd even settle for the version that doesn't take up so much memory.And to those saying the culprits are extensions, I'm not using any. If it's not already part of the browser, then the browser is missing something.

Mastertech should update his page regarding the security. Just checked the Secunia site:Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x is rated as a highly critical security threat with 21 of 91 unpatched vulnerbilitiesCompared with firefox's less critical rating leaving 3 of 26 unpatchedIE: <a class="user" href="http://secunia.com/product/11/">http://secunia.com/product/11/</a>FF: <a class="user" href="http://secunia.com/product/4227/">http://secunia.com/product/4227/</a>
