Firefox 2 RC3

i don't know if this has been posted already but recently i downloaded firefox 2 RC3 and i can say i love it. Though this is not a final release, it's really **** good.

You can view the new features and download it here:

see my screen shot of firefox in action.

 

The screenshot looks really good, I might just wait till it gets released before I install it on my notebook!

 

I can wait for the Final Release, I hope its a bit more stable and compatible than the current FF version.

 

Have they improved memory management yet ?
The 1.5x version eats ram like crazy.

 

IE7 still eats a lot of memory than firefox 2.

 

running it, loving it - but strange that there was already 2 special updates within the last 2 days, i was in the middle of surfing, an ff asked to restart for the updates to take effect

any idea?

cheers ...

 

I'd get it if I wasn't so set in my ways with the theme I use. I was so lost when I downloaded 2.0 and didn't have my theme installed. Anybody wanna make this theme work with 2.0 for me?

 

I found FF to be very stable; mine just does not work well with FlashPlayer, but a part from that it works great.

 

The theme and extension authors will definitely update their add-ons, but I doubt they will do so until the final edition is released.

The corners of FF 2 look a little too sharp. They should round them up, especially in window'd mode.

 

Tab Browser Preferences was an extension I used on 1.5. Nothing works on the 2.0 version.

 

I was about to bring that up too!

 

What do u mean? Updates for firefox itself? or some extensions?

 

any theme that is not compatible with version 2 will be disable unless there is updates of the theme. YOu need to report it to the author of the theme.

 

haha i just looked up at the title and I have RC3 and didn't even realize it? haha whatever, works great. haha

 

MY FF has problems with flash adds and flash in general; I hope they fixed that with the new FF. Till then I"ll use IE7

 

yep for firefox itself - has not happened after the first few days - strange

cheers ...

 

Here's a handy bit of software to force your extensions/themes to work with newer versions of FF, even if the author hasn't updated them for the latest FF version:

Works fine for me

 

Is there any plugin or addon to make the text in Firefox 2.0 smooth like in IE7?

 

what do u mean by "smooth"? i couldn't see the difference (probably missing it somehow)

cheers ...

 

The text in IE7 seems much smoother than Firefox, just like for example the rounding of the corners of the letters and such, it seems much 'softer'.
It's a bit hard to explain.
