Firefox 2 Officially Launches

2006-10-24T22:33:04Z

The moment has arrived, Mozilla has pushed the go-live button on Firefox 2. The new final 2.0 version of the browser is now available for everyone to download.

Read/WriteWeb has been actively covering the launch, most recently with a pre-launch interview with Chris Beard - Mozilla Vice President of Products. We've also reviewed the product and have additional notes on how Mozilla plans to market Firefox 2. Digg and Slashdot have additional commentary.

For a look at the competition, you may also want to check out our comparative review of Internet Explorer 7.

And the R/WW coverage doesn't stop there! We have a couple of other in-depth articles coming soon, one about Firefox add-ons and a special one on a yet-to-be-disclosed topic ;-)

For those interested, I found this bug when testing 2.0, and found it baffling. It involves the changing of Access-Key behaviour in Windows. Check out http://www.digg.com/software/Access_Denied_Firefox_2_0_breaks_access_keys

Significantly faster and I liked the spell-checker feature. Usability is also really improved.

But new Feeds options can annoy startpages, there are Yahoo, Google, Bloglines (Ask) only..

I've been otally stoked about this. She boots up so much faster on my MacBook Pro.

Two thumbs up! (although it did crash on me today, but the handy restoration of tabs feature saved me from losing anything)
