Get the Most Out of Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 RC
With the recent release of the release candidate for Mozilla’s first beta of Firefox 2.0, CyberNet Tech news has written a piece showing you how to tweak this latest Firefox release. The easy to follow article covers things like enabling the built-in session restore feature, altering the default behavior of tab scrolling (when you have many tabs open, it lets you scroll horizontally to show even more… eliminates micro tabs) and getting Firefox to recognize more feed readers. Definitely a read for the early Firefox beta adopter. Word on the tech avenue is that Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 will be rolled out this Tuesday.
The most looked forward to feature of Firefox 2.0 is the ability to easily view and subscribe to any feed. This advancement really brings RSS and other syndication technologies to the point where non-techies can use them with ease.
Firefox 2.0 is looking pretty good on Mac. I have a feeling once some optimized builds start showing up and the UNO theme starts to work with the new version, I will probably switch to Firefox once again.
Sure is faster too and yes the subscription options are a lot easier.
Ron,
It’s that good? I still love Camino.
I have actually been using Flock more and more. I liked the speed of Camino, but in the end the lack of extensibility drove me away from it. I need to be able to use stuff like the web developer toolbar.
Yeah, web developer toolbar as well as many other extensions don’t work in FF 2.0. =/ But I bet that will be soon fixed.
I love Camino also, but I’m really missing my Firefox extensions. Firefox 1.5 looks good on my Mac when I use the UNO theme that someone created, but runs like crap. Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 RC1 runs nice and fast but currently doesn’t looks so hot since I can only use the default theme. So once the themes and extensions start working with 2.0 I think I may have my new browser.
