For all of the huge nerds in the house, Firefox 1.0.1 beta is available for your browsing pleasure here . Also, I can't believe that no one has mentioned the most useful firefox plugin ever created by man: adblock.

People onthe net have been claiming it's got a shorter load time, as well as faster page rendering. Have you noticed much of a difference? I think I bot a better speed bump when I disabled IPv6 in 1.0. Just curious.

I haven't noticed much of a difference. But on the other hand I have FF tweaked to the max .

The Mozilla Corporation on Monday posted to its download site the final release of Firefox 2.0, the second-generation release of the popular alternative Web browser. An official announcement is expected Tuesday.

New features in Firefox 2.0 include enhancements in security, tabbed browsing, performance, and extensions. The browser update also includes a built-in spell checking and an anti-phishing feature, much like Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7, which launched last week.

Source and complete article.

And looked who sent a cake.

So I just dl-ed 2.0 and am already having trouble with my tabbed browsing. I can get the tabs to open, and the first tab to load, but when I click on the 2nd one and type in the URL, the page opens in the first tab.

If anyone can help, that'd be wonderful. I hate having so many windows up.

I was thinking I was going to have to do that.

Not sure what version number it was, but I know for sure that it was the most recent one before 2.0.

EDIT: Ok, I just reinstalled and it's still doing it. The first tab is the only one that loads.

Screw this P.O.S already...where can I go to DL an older version?

Personally speaking, I hate Internet Explorer with a passion -- MSIE's royally screwed me over many times, despite being supposedly protected from all that garbage out there.

When FF was introduced, a lot of people were convinced that this was the better browser to use. Till today I've never experienced problems with it. That's why I was quite disappointed that 2.0 didn't work, especially after all the hype that came with it.

Some people care a lot about which browsers they use. That's all.

Mahalo Lei. FYI, my initial response wasn't to you specifically, but streaming out loud about this in general. I mean, cakes, and HI-based parties and hoooha! It is a browser. Safari has private browsing and Netscape works better on certain forums (ime) and IE is waaay old school, but eh. I dig FF, heck I am using it now, but it's just. a. browser.

s'all.
