General Mac software discussions: Has anyone tried the new Firefox 2.0.0.1 Browser?
Has anyone tried the new Firefox 2.0.0.1 Browser?
by chilco - 2/21/07 5:39 PMCurrently I am using Firefox 1.5.0.9 and it works just fine. I want to upgrade to Firefox 2.0 because it has several new features I want to try.
My question is, has anyone tried the Firefox 2.0, and if so how has it been?
Thank you very much for your time, CHUSITO 1975
Definitely time to upgrade

Absolutley Great!

It's the perfectly 'adjustable' browser. Trusting anything online is dodgy of course, but I've done every upgrade of theirs and found them to be seemless in all ways. The newest version, 2.0.2 should be out soon; try it, you can't regret it. Also, read their forum, and check out the themes and extensions; that's where they zoom all other browsers.
Thanks

Firefox 2.0
by billcamow - 3/21/07 5:25 AM In reply to: Mac user here... by tamburlaine63Hi, I am also a Mac User and I have tried, fruitlessly, to instal Firefox 2.0. Each time I download it - at least 15 times so far - it downloads but when I start up my computer again I find it has rgressed to Firefox 1.5
I too would be grateful for any help with this
Go For FF!
by Yunks - 3/25/07 7:13 AM In reply to: Firefox 2.0 by billcamowFF 2.0 is actually behind the hood, but is definitely worth it for bug fixes.... Session saver is cool, hoever i use Tab Mix Plus and prefer it.. Also when you install it, it will check your addons for compatibility, so make sure your addons are fully compatible.
If you are having problems with it reverting to 1.5, wipe clean everything from firefox (try use uApp). Then, redownload 2.0... see if it helps..
Firefox
by tamburlaine63 - 3/26/07 11:51 AM In reply to: Firefox 2.0 by billcamowJust wondering if you're following the usual download steps? Do the download, open the dmg. offered afterwards, that starts it, then drag the FF icon to your applications, that 'mounts' it to your computer. Click on the icon in applications to open it, should be there. Then you can drag the icon from apps. to your dock, and open it from there. Do you do these steps before doing a shutdown or restart? Good luck - The FF forums also are great, giving a good knowledge base and archives with 'stickies' for common questions.
Firefox

Your advice was spot on and I now can use FF as it should be used.
Cheers, Rafiki.
