- nunbot, on 10/12/2007, -8/+112this is too funny; we need a story now for something the browser tells you?
- jake3988, on 10/12/2007, -21/+113MAKE IT USE LESS MEMORY, DARN IT.
Fantastic browser, too much memory suckage. - KyIe, on 10/12/2007, -5/+83"Tell me again how I am supposed to trust this browser?"
Are you saying that you would rather use IE where they ignore the problems instead of fix them? - Skyhoper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+65Fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.2

I don't think anyone's asking you to trust it. But given the options, it's certainly among the most trustworthy.
Or are you one of those people who doesn't "get" how software has bugs in it? - garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40Yes! Now people in remote villages of Africa who only speak tribal languages can use Firefox, sweet ass!
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -7/+43Come on...47mb with one tab open is efficiency at its best. :P
I'm an FF user and wont change, but don't digg the guy down for stating a fact.
Edit: 49 now. :P - scottylist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36Phew! For a second there I thought this was just the 2.0.0.0.0.0.2 version.
- Bean945, on 10/12/2007, -11/+43You must not have much of a life.

- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30Its not funny at all. It's a very serious update :)
- womfalcs7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26a 0.0.0.0 upgrade deserves an immediate 1st page digg. (I love Firefox by the way, no bashing)
They also added three more languages to the list. - anaidioschrono, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25It flagged Java 6.0 as incompatible for me.
- manitoba98xp, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25Because they tell you what problems they're having. With IE, Microsoft doesn't tell you anything until you receive Internet Explorer Security Fix 80246541 on the next Patch Tuesday.
- Rice, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Download a full installer and reinstall. Your stuff (extensions and bookmarks) will be safe.
If that doesn't work, back up your bookmarks and start a new profile.
Good luck. - 1911wolf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13If you're on an intel Mac, run the Universal Binary through Xslimmer. Shave off 20MBs of unneeded code.
- mvent2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Constantly complaining about it does nothing but annoy everyone. They're aware of the leaks, that's why they've just implemented one of these: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333078
Once that's been integrated into most of the services you should see a BIG improvement in memory usage come Firefox 3 (likely down to Opera levels, though I don't want to start a flame war).
Most of the leaks have already been fixed (contrary to many fanboys), but if you can fix the rest of them by all means do so, otherwise please stop complaining. Memory leaks are really hard to track down. - anaesthetica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@redxii
It's not a faith-based browser. The proof is in the number and seriousness of exploits in the wild. Firefox easily beats IE on this simple criterion. It requires no trust, just review the empirical data. - syco123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11just turn on search as I type you dont need /
Search using 'ctrl+f' If thats too much hassle you're one lazy mother ***** - mrtorok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Wow! I cannot wait until a year from now when people are saying "Dude, 2.0.0.7 owns 2.0.0.6."
- anaesthetica, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9@mvent2
I advise cutting back on the caffeine. - ts8lemonade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I am actually glad to have found this on digg. Recently I installed Vista and one of the things that has had me baffled is that Firefox seems to vibrate. That is, the browser kinda shakes up and down. I had no idea why this could be because Firefox works fine on my laptop that has Vista. I've tried reinstalling it, tried disabling all addons (even though I use the same addons on my laptop Vista which works fine) and I just don't know what seems to be the problem. So instead of constantly getting motion sickness from my browser I decided to install Opera. Opera is serving me okay, but I probably would never have found out about this update through Firefox alone, so it's good to have these sorts of things on digg too :)
edit: Just installed the new firefox and it didn't fix it. Still shakes, anyone know possibly why? - Avalonis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8mvent2 :
From the FF page (Under Known Issues)
Window bounces and shakes. There have been reports in Bugzilla and MozillaZine forums of windows either bouncing or shaking when no items are in the toolbar and in other cases. As a workaround, there are some instructions at MozillaZine that can help resolve this problem.
Here's the link to the possible work around.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Window_shakes - Rekzai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11^ get a new power supply / upgrade your hardware
- CarlosReyes, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11any word on a more Aero friendly FF?
- JK1150, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8MFSA 2007-07 Embedded nulls in location.hostname confuse same-domain checks
Nice! - Saint07, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Wow! I didn't even know notice it just automatically updated.
- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I would've dugg you for using the Blue Ice theme (The best, currently available, firefox theme imo.), but i had to bury you for the giant post.
Lots of Extensions != Bigger Epenis. - MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8I think it's more because of the 64 Vista...
- whiteguysamurai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6For the record, the netscape wmp plug in does not work for vista.
- shitthisfook, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7You could use "F3" instead of "CTRL+F" if you don't want to press two keys.
- nickerbocker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I see this story then look under the Help menu and see that Firefox is already getting the update for me.
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Hum. Strange :)
Google is a pretty simple page. Should be no problem. - jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@devnil
I just have to ask... How did you get a job in IT? No wait. Don't answer that, I really want to just pretend that you were kidding and were just a troll. - TheLD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ts8lemonade: Submit a bug report
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A fun note; before it's actually starts installing it says "a little housekeeping" as it prepared to install =]
- Avalonis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Instructions to enable/disable close buttons for tabs in Firefox : http://ffextensionguru.wordpress.com/2006/10/22/firefox-20-close-tab-buttons/
- dreamlayers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5If you want the quick find bar brought up by / to look like the normal find bar then get Find Toolbar Tweaks: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2585/
- pile0nades, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Changelog:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=518120 - stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yes, for any mac including PPC. Logic Pro went from almost 300MB to just 96MB with xslimmer. Nice little app.
- ipodman715, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It is soothing!
- ts8lemonade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I don't understand all of you complaining about memory usage and such. I just ran a test using Firefox and Opera. I opened first 3 tabs, then 5 tabs, then 9 tabs to various sites on both the browsers (the same sites of course for each browser of course) and Firefox uses much less memory than Opera. At 3 tabs Firefox was around 3mb less memory, 5 tabs it was 9mb less memory, and 9 tabs it was 20mb less memory. I like both the browsers and have been using each for a while now but is there something I'm missing here?
I will admit though that Opera just feels more responsive than Firefox. I really don't have any evidence to back that up but that's just what it seems like from using both browsers. - tektalk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I don't know about you guys
but i always feel soothed and relaxed every time i see the "You've Upgraded to Firefox" page.
I even enjoy looking at it sometimes.
*/digg me down for being weird :( - MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4That's the extension makers problem :)
- DagYo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5hopefully this will fix whatever is wrong with the mac version, i've experienced multiple crashes on multiple machines and for some reason the keyboard will stop responding sometimes and FF has to be restarted.
- whiteguysamurai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Windows media content works 100% fine for me in Vista. I installed an active-x plugin."
If it's for version 2, please post a link here. - Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7I rate Opera very highly, just not as highly as Firefox (for the most part that's due to the extensions i use, but that's not to say unmodified Firefox isn't great). I've said it before, but when it comes to Firefox and Opera it does come down (more or less) solely to personal choice. As far as security etc is concerned, it could be either/or....both more than deserve the praise they get.
- joshpowell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The "Firefox Default for Vista" theme helps. It doesn't look Vista-y, but at least it doesn't look all blue and yucky. (It makes it look pretty much exactly like it does in XP)
- chogie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4gave me the same warning but java seems to be working fine anyway
- Valacar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Stylish (v0.4) works fine for me. Might want to notify the author on his forum: http://userstyles.org/forum/
