Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

You should have tried RC3 ;) I presume that the full version is going to be that release then? RC3?

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

I found with FF 2.0 RC3 that sometimes when I closed the browser, it held the firefox.exe process in memory and did not actually fully close it down (i.e. still showing on the task manager). Don't know if anyone else has had or have noticed a similar issue?

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozi...0/win32/en-GB/
that is for the British version... gonna give it a go, see if its any different

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

sorry for the duplicate lads. as i said am in a bit of a rush...cheers ;)

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Yeah - made me laugh...

They started calling it that about 12 months ago - I first thought it was a mistake....and then I reaslied they where taking the p out of my beloved browser!! :erm:

The spell checker is rather neat. No excuses for crappy spelling on the forum anymore!

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

I'll have to wait until the guys at Debian release Iceweasel 2.0 :dozey:

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Still can't move the "go" button. :(

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Put this in your prefs.js file with Firefox closed, then start it again:

user_pref("browser.urlbar.hideGoButton", true)

prefs.js is in your profile folder, if it doesn't exist just create it in a text editor...

That's if you want to get rid of it of course, but where would you want to move it to?

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

I know how to get rid of it [about:config >> change browser.urlbar.hideGoButton to TRUE]

But I'd much prefer it in a more sensible place, below the bookmarks menu item, at the front of the address bar, grouped with the other buttons. Like I used to have it in all previous versions of FF/FB :/

Seems silly, it's now attached to the address bar

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Why don't you want to just hit enter when you've typed in a url?

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

I always thought the Go button was pointless.

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

I do, but I'm lazy and don't want to move my hand off the mouse once I've already pressed Enter after typing in the address, if I need to refresh the page. I kind of used to use it as a Reload button

I just moved my reload button instead, something I never thought of moving before. DOH!

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Good idea if you have to use it!

Otherwise looks like you'll be waiting for Fx 3 until it may be separated again....

From Bugzilla:

The download site's getting hammered :p:

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

I was using switchproxy 1.4 and now that wont work with Firefox 2, can anyone gimme a hint to a proxy manager that works with this please.

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

See here...

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Nightly testing tools will make it compatible with FF2. Whether it works as it should, is not certain though. Though only one of my extensions failed using this extension when I changed to FF2, so it is good.

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

it also works with themes too.:D

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

If you are upgrading from v1.5 or lower, I wouldn't recommend using it on themes, as the themes probably won't be suitable for v2 ;)

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

I installed this yesterday and I'm impressed. The 'close' button on each tab is the most immediate difference, and I like it except when I forget and go to click on the right hand end of the tab bar!

I have also noticed it handles antialiased text on a TFT monitor much better than 1.x did, however it sometimes renders the bottom of the page slightly more slowly than 1.x did when I rapidly scroll downwards.

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

yes after a hour or so of browseing it didnt seem right so i uninstalled the theme will stick with just add ons so far so good with them.

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Nice one Cobby, I changed the version in the install.rdf file, works like a gud un again :tu:

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Just gave it a quick whirl : Its fast a little slicker but top heavy on memory as described on wikipedia.

7241 root 15 0 155m 59m 21m S 0.0 7.9 1:02.83 firefox-bin
6777 root 15 0 173m 34m 5244 S 1.3 4.6 2:44.89 Xorg

Hell thats more than the Xserver

Back to 1.5 I go.

Thought you guys might be interested in some of these FF2 tweaks...

In particular, CrC-3rr0r may be interested in this tweak...

Re: Firefox 2 - out tomorrow
 

Installed it earlier (cleanly after backing up my bookmarks etc.), then whacked on the excellent Adblock Plus & NoScript.

I like it so far.


Only thing I wasn't keen on was how they've changed the location bar search - if you enter keywords in the location bar, & hit enter/Go, it no longer does a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search, but does a "Browse By Name" search instead.

As I'm now very used to the old method, I did a quick Google & found a solution:
