True headbangers are the ones who download nightlies (Minefield Trunk Builds). Then again, only the insane download the hourlies.

I just stick with the nightlies.

 

Installed this and within 5 minutes my computer got so slow I uninstalled this version and reinstalled my previous version.

 

No Problems here.

 

I've downloaded it but havent had a chance to install.

Is there any difference with 1.5?

 

i read in one website that more of the "bugs" have been "resolved"

some of the extensions are not compatible eg- fasterfox is not compatible with FF 2.0 and a lot of the themes. Add block and down them all etc are still compatible, and from what i can gather FF 2.0 now has philsing site filter

Thanks for the info, mgpower0 & BoredOutOfMyMind.

I've been putting off the install for a few days now, but it looks good, so I'll go ahead and install it.

 

I NEVER do the Mozilla betas!

 

Care to elaborate?

I'm running beta2 right now, and so far, no problems.

 

No problems, also don't see much difference apart from the Google search bar. Oh and the spell checker!

 

as we are different "taste"

in my side OPERA, cause actually before im a FF user
but when i get this "ctrl c=ctrl v" bugs, i quit it

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I just wanted to know why Scousetechie wouldn't try out Mozilla betas.

As for Opera, I also have version 9 installed, but I find FF just a little faster.
