Downloaded Firefox 2

[mikewithaprob]

Well, this is my first time using Firefox and believe I think I'm in love with this program. It has many add ons and its has the tabbed browsing which was the one thing I missed from IE 7. Honestly a good program to install!

Totally agree with you 110%.
I absolutely love Firefox, I'm so glad my friend introduced me to it shortly after version 1.0.
I've been using it ever since, it's even on my flash drive as Portable Firefox.
It totally beats IE for everything IMHO, I never use IE except for Windows Update.
Awesome program.

IE 7 does have tabbed browsing but I don't like the way it works in that regard as well as Firefox.

I can't get on with IE7's tabbed browsing, it confuses me.
Links I expect to open in a new tab open in the same tab or in a new page, and then the tabs don't behave like I want them to.
I'll just stick with Firefox.

Yep, I agree with you.  That's what I meant when I said I don't like the way it works in that regard as well as Firefox.  

I first started using Firefox about 2 months ago.  I'm still using 1.5; will probably upgrade to 2 soon.

[Calum]

What's holding you back?  Just curious; I upgraded as soon as it was available.

Just holding off awhile to see whether any complaints were being reported.  Also, just thought I'd take some time to experience tabbed browsing and the other features of version 1.5 before upgrading.  That way, I'll have something to compare to.

There are some existing issues with 2.0...i'm holding off as well.

Theyre pretty responsive to bug reports so i'm sure they will be dealt with shortly. I'm content to wait til then...

Personally, I've had no problems with FF2 at all, once the extensions were made compatible.
It has crashed a few times, but less than FF1.5 did, and much less than IE.

Urge to uninstall rising..... Should I just downgrade to 1.5? Or should I just stick with 2 even though there are flaws?

[Calum]

Have you had any problems with it?
There are always some problems with any program, some are just more or less buggy than others.
I'd say if you have issues with F2, then uninstall it and go back to 1.5, wait for 2.0.1 to be released (or whatever they call the next patch)
But if you don't, then stick with it.
Just my two cents.

I'd say disable your extensions one at a time til you find the culprit...extensions are always far behind a new release...
