Mozilla 2.0 beta by ForestPlus! on 09-03-2006 at 09:36 PM
Wow, what an exciting/strange time for web browsers!
First off IE 7 beta, then browzar, and now mozilla beta!
So (those of you who have it) what do you think of mozilla 2.0 beta?
RE: Mozilla 2.0 beta by alexp2_ad on 09-03-2006 at 09:54 PM
Stop including Browzar! It's just an Internet Explorer wrapper, it's more a skin than a browser!
And Firefox 2.0 (Not Mozilla, that's a different browser, another real one) is pretty good, I like the new theme. 
RE: Mozilla 2.0 beta by Chris4 on 09-03-2006 at 10:19 PM
I was thinking... what is Mozilla 2.0? 
lol
Firefox 2.0 (Bon Echo)

If I make a skin for iTunes, does that mean I'm launching my own music player? No.

the new beta 2 of firefox 2.0 is cool but i wont get it til some more themes are available...i like my mac themes 
but im sure its gonna be better
its good that we can have both mozilla 1.5 and 2.0 beta 2
wow a spell checker this is pretty neat
RE: Mozilla 2.0 beta by ForestPlus! on 09-04-2006 at 08:35 AM
Yes, i am sorry for calling it mozilla 2.0, it's real name is Mozilla firefox 2.0 beta... and the spell checker, ive tried deliberatly (theres one <- ) misspelling things, and no spell check for me.. ill see if theres any options page somewhere...
RE: Mozilla 2.0 beta by Mike on 09-04-2006 at 08:46 AM

Beta 2 I have found more unstable compared to Beta 1. Beta 2 freezes every 5 seconds, even now as I type this it freezes and then is fine, something Beta 1 never did.
RE: Mozilla 2.0 beta by Felu on 09-04-2006 at 09:31 AM
I have Mozilla Firefox 2 (Beta 1). Just didn't update to BETA as GM isn't compatible with it yet ![[Image: xso_sad.gif]](http://shoutbox.menthix.net/images/smilies/xso_sad.gif)
.
And the dodgy spell checker marks 'mozilla' and 'firefox' ad worngly spelled
RE: Mozilla 2.0 beta by Underlord on 09-04-2006 at 09:49 AM
Beta 2 works well and includes the ability to import different dictionaries
RE: Mozilla 2.0 beta by ForestPlus! on 09-04-2006 at 09:51 AM
