Comments on: Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 http://www.aelon.net/2006/09/firefox-20-beta-2/ Random babblings from a few digitally inclined people Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:09:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Cyrris http://www.aelon.net/2006/09/firefox-20-beta-2/#comment-2118 Tue, 19 Sep 2006 04:56:35 +0000 http://www.aelon.net/2006/09/firefox-20-beta-2/#comment-2118 Just a quick note to mention the new screenshot I added of the most recent build of Bon Echo (that's Firefox 2's codename... to make sure people know it's not an official release). It looks a lot better but I'm still not particularly happy with it.

This email went out after Microsoft fixed the bodged IE patch recently that had rendered our application unusable via IE and had resulted in the same support group requesting users to download Firefox as a workaround. The new email informed users that the problem had been fixed and that after the installation of the new patch that IE only should once again be used in order to avoid "security problems". I was rather tempted to reply back to inquire as to whether they had honestly written that email with a straight face... In Reply to #9:

Except for some websites that are dumbly made only with IE in mind.... What I find particularly aghasting is seeing so called "computer experts" still using IE. I cringe. I’m a firefox convert.

Just right-click on the back/home/refresh buttons in Firefox and choose customise. You will see the New Tab button there, and you can just drag it to where you want it. Also, I find the go button useful for when I have just used the mouse to select something in the history of the location bar. It's not often, but the Go button takes up so little room anywya I've just left it there. Thorny - there is a New Tab button you can use.
