is now available at microsoft.com with tabbed browsing, faster tabbing, links and stronger security and RSS.

I'm impressed.

Bugs? Of course,, it's Beta 2.

I've noted one already.

I've tried several times to install it with no luck.

 

[Bob Maxwell]

did your computer meet the minimum requirements?

Bob,

Not to get off thread, but the latest version of FF is not compatible with the TabMix Plus add-on(in?) I'm guessing that will be corrected shortly.

 

[Ned]

My TabMix Plus 0.3 extension didn't need any update for FF 1.5.0.1

 

[Karl]

Makes sense. I was running 2.5.2

TNX!

Had to dump IE7 or restore to a day before it was downloaded, which screwed up some updates had to re-do, I downloaded it while traveling using Wifi, and it worked great came home back to old dialup and even though I was online, my dialup kept flashing on the screen very annoying, so restored and problem went away, then downloaded IE7 on desktop PC same problem, so it is gone, and all is well? guess it's not compatabile with dialup, only for high speed perhaps?

How do I get the menus to appear as they did in V6?

 

[Bob Maxwell]

Jeff,

Under tools\toolbars\clasic menu.

 

[Jeff]

Bob:

Found it, thanks.

 

[Sue/Al]

Beta2 is not compatible with Dial-up, had to lose it, now have DSL on both our PCs downloaded it again and it works great, liked it before except the annoying dial-up telling me I had to connect and Iwas connected???

 

[Bob Maxwell]

A new Beta 2 was released on 4/20 and is snappier!

I like it even more a day later.

 

[Smoky]

Is it still in Beta?  I have a friend who thinks it has gone official.  But I think if it had gone official I would have received an update notice.

 

[Bob Maxwell]

The first Beta 2 was available as an unofficial release for developers an dadvanced users. This last release is an official release with significant tweeks and improvements, IMO.

I have yet to try it ont this dial-up laptop. That's coming in a week or two.

 

[Smoky]

It is still considered a beta release though is that correct?

It is still a beta release. For me no Thanks I have no real interest. IRider is working very well for me.
