Firefox 2.0 RC2 finally good enough

Saturday, October 7th, 2006 | Life

Ok, so it’s not the final version, but with this release most of my plugins work again and the tabbed browsing is good enough that i can just uninstall tabs mix plus. (though if you go to this note you need to hold ALT when you click enter on the search box to open your search results in new tab). It supports more code, and so far i haven’t had any crashes, problems with it at all. There are many new additions, and they are all very subtle but helpful when you need something.

It won’t auto-update to this unless you are already using a beta of firefox 2, so just go to filehippo and download it: http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/.

In other browser news you can download a release candidate of IE7, it is very shiny and matches with their new office 2007 beta’s new look, but still a big ball of garbage for web designers who were hoping for oh, i don’t know…. support for several year old specifications to web language standards…. those cock gobblers….

I have had to fix a few computers recently who had downloaded ie7 and it caused problems for them, so do it at your own peril. I have it on my pc and it’s fine, but then again, i don’t open it much since i am using firefox 2
