tjobo Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Right after the release of IE 7.0, and a little bit earlier than expected, and after three release candidates Firefox 2 is finally out! To see what's new click here.Note that not all localizations are updated yet, and some of your old extensions are probably not as well. Select your language and download firefox 2.0 now Okey folks.. It's released official now.http://www.getfirefox.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobar Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 i'm using 2.0 now - just make sure that any extensions you use are compatible. I upgraded FF, went to DL my usual extensions, and found that many of them didn't work with anything 1.6 or higher.good release overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 grobar, most extension do work with FF 2.0, you just need to raise the extensions max version.Which can be done with nightly tester tool, mr tech local install and manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 It was the same as RC3 anyway. As in exactly the same. You can tell by checking the hashes.Firefox releases are always like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
