Firefox 2.0 released

FirefoxWe’ve been waiting for it since a while, but here it is, the new version of Firefox.

If you’re been living under a rock for the past year or so, Firefox is an OpenSoure web browser that innovates in many ways. It’s steadily gaining ground over Internet Explorer, who also launched their new version of their browser lately.

However, when I look at my statistics, most of you have not been living under a pile of rocks, as in the last month, 38% of you were using Firefox, against 40% for Internet Explorer.

You’ll then be happy to know that Firefox’s new features are

  • Built-in anti-phishing protection
  • A new, and good looking, theme
  • Better tabbed browsing (whereas Internet Explorer 7 introduces tabbed browsing)
  • Better RSS feed management
  • Many extensions that were used in version 1 are now built-in Firefox 2.0
  • And many more!

If you haven’t tried Firefox yet, go download it as soon as possible and start enjoying surfing on the Internet!

Firefox is a new program and is independent from FF 1.5. Hence, if you uninstalled it before installing the new version, your previous settings might be lost. If they are, just retype the username/password and tell him to remember it and you will be all set again… :)

Help me please…
I just installed Firefox 2.0, and all of a sudden, my username/password isn't being inserted in the signon window (it always was before). I tried the usual suspects–I did not mistakenly tell FF not to remember the password for this site; and I also tried the remember password bookmarklet, but all to no avail–FF will not ask me to remember this password. What do I need to do to get around this?

I haven’t checked that out yet, but I am a fan of foxfire. Thanks for the info. I will stop being lazy and download it.

I just downloaded it. It looks fine, I don’t see to many differences yet, but I guess the new features are mostly hidden. But the theme is cute :P
