Mozilla Firefox – faster, more secure, easier to use and sporting a new look, this latest Firefox release sets a new standard for web browser innovation.

It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.

there's nothing new in interface but just posting the screenshot of about firefox.. |
i´m using firefox 2 beta 2 since it´s available for download... |
Beta 2 wouldn't run for more than about 2 minutes for me before it froze. I'm going to try it out on a clean windows install when I get my new compy in a couple of weeks :) |
Sankar:
What about Google-related extensions? Do they work with FF 1.5.0.5? |
Caleb: i am using ff2 sinc about 2 weeks, and no abnormal froze or crash... ;) only the language support (german) is not very well... |
>Piotr Konieczny
yes, absoutely because this is just an update of the current version of firefox 1.5.0.4 it works great with this new version.
It is Recommended to update your current firefox version.......
So you dont need to worry about it and note this is the Final Version ....... here after no update for Firefox 1.5.0.5 Directly the release of Firefox 2beta 3. So i suggest you to download this or update your firefox.... |
Sankar Anand:
I use Opera as a primary browser, but I think, this is the good time, to try Firefox with some of Google's extensions.
To all:
What Google-related extensions do you use with Firefox? Maybe we can combine a list? (Top ten extensions that are based on Google services) |
Google related exetension that I use and like:
Googe Toolbar- by Google Google Browser Sync – by Google Google Preview Customize Google
Tony |
Google Toolbar Customize Google Orkut Toolbar Google Notebook
|
With a small update like this most extensions will be fine.
I tried ver 2 beta 2 but I found it crashed too much like Caleb above. |
