Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7
by Just wanted to let everyone know that they should be upgrading their browsers.
If you're a Firefox user, version 2.0 has just been officially released. Go get it: http://www.getfirefox.com (it has built-in spell check now too, sweet!)
If you're an Internet Explorer user, you should update to IE7 (available on Microsoft's site), or switch to Firefox 2.0.
The main reason you should upgrade is for security. The new browsers are worlds' better at keeping you safe from malicious sites on the Web.

Hmm..not sure if I like the way the new firefox looks (though this spell check thing is great!!). Anyone know of any cool themes?
OH there's themes, I didn't know about that.
How do we know what version we're using doesn't tell me in properties..I JUST got the version @ the beginning of this month has it update since then??? (the second part I'm sort of just putting out there for like anyone) *crickets chirp*
SOooo Anyone?
to check your version, go to "help", then "about"
This version came out today, so you don't have it yet.
pinball was my fave theme, but it's not available for 2.0. I'm using "littlefox" right now, but I'm not crazy about it. I think we need to give the developers a little more time to get themes that will work with 2.0.
this is exactly what I'm doing...
IE7 pnws, and it's great how much its actually improved since beta, I barely use firefox if at all. If only I could disable some of these adverts I'd be set
WHY SHOULD I UPGRADE
if you hate life you should upgrade, gameboy
Who cares! :oP
is firefox 2.0 less of a ram hog/leak?
it's only slightly better in my experience, but they did fix a few leaks.
sweet. firefox 2.0 has a built-in session manager:
Preferences->Main->When Firefox Starts=Show my windows and tabs from last time

my dad says i have to use IE or he will have his MS goons kill me :/
lifehacker confirms my suspicion that FoxMarks is way better than GoogleSync
for bookmarks.
