- junkking, on 10/12/2007, -6/+137How about Beta 2 ?
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/releases/2.0b2.html - johnthedebs, on 10/12/2007, -4/+52"Honestly...there's barely any difference between 2.0 and 1.5. These changes are barely worthy of a 1.6 designation, let alone a 2.0."
Visual Refresh
Built-in phishing protection
Enhanced search capabilities
Improved tabbed browsing
Resuming your browsing session
Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds
Inline spell checking
Live Titles
Improved Add-ons manager
JavaScript 1.7
Extended search plugin format
Updates to the extension system
Client-side session and persistent storage
SVG text
New Windows installer
and that's besides all the bugfixes. Please don't make stupid comments. Thanks.
"It still doesnt have a way to save tab groups.
all I want it to do it open this this and this tab when I start firefox. I would love to be corrected."
With multiple tabs open right-click the tab bar and select Bookmark All Tabs... Then under options, click Use Bookmark and select the folder that you just saved those bookmarks to. Enjoy being corrected. - sinizuh, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39So the link goes to the beta 2 site, but then the download page says beta 1, but THEN! when you click the download link, it downloads 1.5.0.6
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+35Memory bug fixed yet?
- roostersheep, on 01/16/2009, -8/+28I don't know why this guy's been dugg down but what he says is true. Here's the beta 2 download link: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2.0b2-candidates/rc2/firefox-2.0b2.en-GB.win32.installer.exe
- spyrochaete, on 10/12/2007, -11/+26The title says it all. The description is worthless. The link is broken. The first 10 comments have hyperlinks, each claiming to be the right one. And yet the story is Dugg 255 times.
Digg is fundamentally broken. - davereid20, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17@rodbibeau,
Have you tried setting your Firefox Homepage to something like this?
http://address-of-1-tab.com|http://address-of-2-tab.com|http://address-of-3-tab.com - dave98, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16use mr.techs local install
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/421/
or nightly tester tools
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/958/
both of which provide the ability to make extensions ignore the maxVersion and basically make extensions compatible.
I use 29 extensions.. all work fine - Bamborzled, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15No, the middle-mouse button.
- DemonicPrime, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Official en-us release
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0b2/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%202.0%20Beta%202.exe - mvprj84, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15There is a portable version available also:
http://tech.cybernetnews.com/2006/08/31/download-the-portable-version-of-firefox-2-beta-2/ - matthiasgoodman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13The extension problem (from 2.0b1 to b2) is that the extension writers set there extension for 2.0b1, not 2.0b*.
- Anrkist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16I use FF on a constant basis.. rarely open IE. I wish they would work on some of the RAM usage issues rather then trying to update the look of the browser.
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Spellcheck no longer works on remote XUL applications. This is HORRIBLE news for my primary client.
- UnderLoK, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14Go to the source and pick your own flavor...
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2.0b2-candidates/rc2/ - barius, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@r2d7
The problem is not in Firefox. Extension writers can tell the installer to install under all versions by simply specifying with "*". The reason extension writers allow installation on only specific versions is because they don't want to deal with problems that arise in old or unstable versions of the browser. Since FF2 is a BETA it makes alot of sense that extension developers aren't allowing installations for it because they don't want whiners like you complaining about bugs before the platform their extension is running on is stable. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+17What about performance? Back/forward page rendering? CSS rendering? Table rendering? Script speed? Multiple image rendering? Is it faster than Opera yet?
These are the things *I* am concerned with, not the icon gloss effects or other such non-sense. - heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8It installs into a different directory.
- thegreyfox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8nice and fast. layout seems a bit washed out. but so far great.
- Bamborzled, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0b2/
He-he, here's the actual release they were talking about. You were pointing to the old nightly.
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0b2/win32/en-US/
A direct link to the en-US, win32 version. - jorisb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I don't know why you're both getting dugg down.
It's simply a fact.. it also doesn't spell check for me.
It sounds like a really good feature though. - metaphysical, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hey necrogoldo, next time you might wanna Photoshop out that porn tab visible through that slick Aero glass you got going there, bud.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+17.... so every time a new vesion comes out the author has to change the version number in their extension ... and that's the best ***** idea Mozilla can come up with for handling them???
- astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6> Memory bug fixed yet?
Yes, it's fixed. - Room101, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10The new buttons look cheap. They look like they belong in one of those terrible home brewed Opera skins. Whoever is working on it needs to remember that the glassy/aqua type icons have been done a lot, so it might be a good idea to try and do them well.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+15It's amazing the way they break extensions with every release. The guys writing extensions are ridiculously tollerant. The users' waiting for newly-compatible extensions must be on valium.
- Toupee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7From what I understand, that isn't Radiant Core's design... more or less a mockup. According to the blog that was actually linked to, the final design is due out in another release in early September.
- sovok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Just install the Nightly Tester Tools Extension, it will let you install/enable all non-compatible extensions: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/958/
Adblock, Browse Images, All in one gestures etc. all work now with 2.0 beta. - catbertz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Not a fan of the default theme's icon changes. Too aero..they are slightly hard to focus on with my ancient eyes ;)
- ricosalomar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6@rodbibeau
Just make your homepage a list, separated by a | (bar).
They will all open, tabbed.
(edit) davereid20 beat me to it, stupid captcha. - beltzner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7To save Mozilla's server infrastructure and allow for proper load balancing, can people please point to the download page, which will be:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-beta.html
Thanks! - astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3> Can you go back to the 1.5 version after installing beta 2 ?
Yes. You can have both installed and switch between the two as you wish. - gbm85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you spend all your time whining about dupes, it's implied that you have no life.
- seanmac, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6it's bubbly and reflectiv-y -- Firefox 2.0 for Web 2.0...
I hate the look but I guess I can change that. Let's hope memory usage is better... - Marinor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Well I have it running...looks nice and runs pretty well however a lot of my extensions aren't supported yet.
Well I'll update as they come available. - CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Chances are you dont even know much about browsers. You're on the bandwagon- okay. We know.
- astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes, the OS X version has significant Mac-specific performance and UI improvements over Firefox 1.5. On top of that, they've finally implemented smooth trackpad/mouse-wheel scrolling correctly.
Anyone still using Firefox 1.5 on OS X should upgrade to Firefox 2.0 beta 2 immediately. - StealthGod, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5@dave98
Thanks for those links... all extensions work like a charm when you bypass the max version check. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Here's the proper link for all versions:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0b2/ - justinjacobs, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9* Tosses you an 'about' *
- darreno, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"This launch could see the end of IE"... I love all the idiots that believe Firefox will ever knock IE out of the most used browser slot. It's kind of funny and it's kind of sad. Guess the Kool-Aid was extra special powerful for this guy.
- bertdevriese, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0b2&os=osx&lang=en-US
- astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3> Now i'm constantly clicking the tab drop-down menu on the right of the screen
Get with the times. All the cool people middle-click a tab to close it; the placement of the red close button is irrelevant. - astrosmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Or maybe it's just you...
- cody50, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6That is the portable version. its different.
- metaphysical, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah I agree with astrosmash. Scrolling in FF 1.5 is brutal.
- zizzybaloobah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The nightly tester tools has worked well for me, except for the Web Developer extension. Browser seems faster too, don't know if it's inherently because of 2.0 or because I'm not using some of the extensions I used previously (because they aren't compatible or they've become a feature)
- damndj, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8Beta 1 did for me, but so far Beta 2 has not been auto checking my spelling in forms.
- RonaldLewis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5So far, so good. Like others, I too have noticed an increase in page render performance -- very important!
- pyrates, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1To the user rodbibeau, yes it can save tabs. Just go to bookmarks and click on bookmark all tabs...simple as that. And as for opening all the bookmarks in one folder, just click on Open in tabs.
