The Mozilla Corporation have today uploaded the follow-up to their hugely popular web browser, Firefox. Despite not being featured on the Firefox homepage the files have all been uploaded to the Mozilla FTP site.

The Windows installer weighs in at 5568KB, and was uploaded at 0819GMT today. As well as this both Mac and Linux versions have been added.

This updated version is designated for release tomorrow, but avid Firefox users can get their hands on it now.

same as RC3? then whats the point of downloading it?

this version good but most extension/addon are not compatible with it.

They will soon be available.

For the time being you can use Nightly Tester tools to "force-compatible" it

A famous download site: http://www.filehippo.com

Alternative firefox download page: http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/

That means RC3 is the last release candidate as they could not find any bugs in it prior to the release of the final version.

then no need go download right?

since RC3 is identical to 2.0

then of course no need to download

i cant dl the english us version...

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or....0/win32/en-US/

so is this the final version?

Yes. It is the final version

It is not final version.

Read here: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/preed/2006/...ntirelease.html

Can someone please post a FF2.0 RC3 screenshot of the about page?

It's the same, the build number is EXACTLY the same.

Anyone using it??wonder any big difference??slow response o not expecially the tab??

i think it responses faster now =)

With the new or old firefox , I have this problem with lowyat. If I use the normal reply instead of quick reply, I always get this error



and I have to click back and press refresh again. Very the mafan. I really don't know what's the problem.

If use quick reply, no problem.

wat is RC3?
this only need to dl to get the latest firefox?update with old firefox can?

I don't seem to have this error at all with any version of Firefox..

RC3 is the 3rd release candidate. You just need to download the latest Firefox. RC3 precedes the latest version (although they are both technically the same).

it works perfectly

Available in their revamped website as well

man i luv the new firefox!!!

i just downloaded it just now... not bad.... just that i hate the spelling check, just manage to turn it off...

many add-ons still not compatible with the 2.0 ver.... like the "timing bar"

anyway... Firefox rocks !!!

now i am using ver 2.0 with noia theme... i notice when i put my mouse cursor on the vertical scroll thing, it will change colour from blue to purple, anyone know how to change the colour ? or cant change ?

IE - east grass la.... hehehe

missing da "find next" function..

got la.... It is changed to "next" only

no leh.. i have 2 use either ctrl + F or G
usually when i type de it find da words & i just have 2 click next 2 find da next same word..

At least it responses faster.

Don't know what happen to my old firefox 1.5, it keeps hanging and lagging over the past week.

Anyway, after installed the 2.0 it doesn't hang much . It still lags when I open or click some website, just lesser

Firefox 2.0 got dictionary with it. cool

wow..its really cool...

where to dl it?

I think xxboxx meant the spell checker. it's built into firefox already.

what the heck?

Is it me or is 1.5.0.7 far more stable than the 2.0 Final?

The 2.0 actually crashed on me when i load up lots of tabs.

What extensions did you install?

Firefox 2.0 has been pretty stable for me

here you go



I'm using stock Theme

the only draw back i find is tat i cant press alt+s to fast post only

Add the SHIFT key to the mix (ALT+SHIFT+S) and that would work. Alternatively, you can change some settings in the config to revert to the previous behaviour: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=446830

it works prefect for me i using de noia 2.0 theme very nice and shock ie go sleep lah.

2.0 has been better for me, really stable, except for the quick find feature, why did they dump the next button. And yeah Noia theme has been updated for this. It's the only theme i've been using all this while.

Here's my extensions. Almost all compatible but some i have to find the update manually.

Joseph Hahn - just wondering where did you get your 0.3.49 Tab Mix Plus

It's because I had some problem with 0.3.0.5, even though I forced-compatible it with Nightly Tester Tools.

use the dev build..

bandwidth exceeded...

any other mirror?

I've posted this in the official thread, but just in case you didn't see, here it goes

i think mozilla 2.0 have some memory leak issues. it just totally lag up my comp once in a while.

im having a weird problem wit ff 2.0 after i use it for few days

before that it work perfectly

after i click save file.. my download window wont show up

den i can c it downloading.... cause i put the path to desktop

but the download tab show nth at all.... just blank... beside tat "save to" also cant select..

i wonder what problem..

i try reinstalling few times.... result remain the same

This post has been edited by alvinX: Oct 31 2006, 04:42 PM

u can enable the "save to" by checking the "always ask me where to save my files" in options->main.

about ur dl window not showing up, could it be that the download is already complete and it's already on ur desktop?

currently i'`m using it..so far i'`m happy with it..no issues with memory leaking or other problems yet..i just had to update my fasterfox...and after that wallaaaa

Its still with the old memory leak issue. Kinda disspointed.

for the uninformed, the "memory leak" is in fact a feature, not a bug. if u do not want it to consume so much memory, u can disable this feature.

http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/ben/archives/009749.html

Try setting the browser.cache.disk.capacity value to 15000 or lower.

Refer to 'Limit RAM usage' here: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/firefox...eaks-209941.php

Explanation of this key: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.capacity

nope.... havant download finish 1

still in progress...

just no matter what i download... the download tab wont show up

when i open the tab manually , it just an empty box...

i'm just wondering, how do u know that it's still downloading if u can't see the download window (ctrl+j)? could it be that the file on ur desktop doesn't look complete, ie it doesn't have a complete .exe or .zip extension?

when i download something

example , abc.avi

after i click in desktop . u can c de abc.avi file and a abc.avi.part

through checking the abc.avi.part file size,

u will know how much u download

if abc.avi.part is 5mb , while complete version for abc.avi file size is 10mb

then that mean u already download 50%

mm, i admit defeat. u should probably post ur problem in mozilla's forum
