| 469883 | 2006-07-10 21:19:00 | www.tgdaily.com Mozilla has released the download of the first beta of its Firefox 2.0 browser a few days early. Originally scheduled for an 11 July release, some users found the 5.4 MB release candidate file on Mozilla's public FTP servers already Sunday night. Don't expect dramatic changes, but rather subtle improvements in Firefox' user interface. For example, the "Options" menu has been reorganized and every browser tab now carries its own "Close" symbol - instead of showing the logo on the right edge of the browser tab. During our first test run, the beta appeared to run stable, but - as all Firefox updates - may require updated versions of previously installed browser extensions. Download: ftp.mozilla.org |

| 469886 | 2006-07-11 00:30:00 | Trying now. I just installed over the top of my existing FFox and it works. FasterFox extension doesn't work. But as this is a beta program, I can live with that. |

| 469887 | 2006-07-11 00:34:00 | I got rid of FasterFox. I didn't notice any difference using it, and some of the things it uses to speed browsing up is blocked by some websites. I noticed I couldn't log into my bank account, and a few other things with FasterFox turned on. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 469888 | 2006-07-11 00:53:00 | I don't have this = "every browser tab now carries its own "Close" symbol". It appears and disappears. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
| 469889 | 2006-07-11 01:46:00 | I like the close button in the corner... Also, it looks like it has its own spell checker... |
