comments please

What wait? It is already released.

worth the wait? I didn't wait for much time for Firefox2. Now, firefox 3 is coming.

The question should be : Is IE7 worth the wait?

answer: Nope. not at all.

S

i mean, do you think that there have been a significant improvements in firefox 2?

IE7 somehow looks feels and works better with Vista but Firefox still rulez *img172.exs.cx/img172/1236/bowtothefox7mw.gif

Has nyone tried Firefox 3... reviews haven't been good so far ... ny known improvements by chance ?

Atleast wait for FF3 to release. At this point FF3 will be very buggy, it's just an alpha release yet.

Who just woke up?

Firefox 2.0 is already out and We all await the revolutionary 3.0 yet again as usual.

This shows frustration! Instead just suggest them to go through 'Fanboyism'!

I love the spell check of FF2....it is really helpful.

Ok T_Y_F, it was me right? Fine, I wont say any browser is good anymore. Just that Opera... hehe...

Edited previous post...

I am talking about everyone in this thread who said IE/Opera is good/bad, I pointed you out cos many people will pick up this statement of yours and start a browser war again. We know very well that people are finicky on subject of browsers and OS's.

the subject should have had 'was' instead of 'is'. 'Do you believe firefox 2.0 was worth the wait?'

I for one, didn't notice anything different. Only that tabs have their own close buttons and that the tools dialog box is laid out differently. I did have problems with some extensions not working with 2.0 but now most of them have new versions which do.

Hmm, people, tell us what you want in browsers apart from what's already present!

Ahh, I thought somebody had digged up an old thread..

Qwerty, diverting the topic eh ?

BTW, I want Firefox to launch fast and take less resources.

I don't think won't be possible in near future....though nowdays 2.0 seems to use a bit less RAM then 1.5....let's wait what 3.0 will show us! Even IE is resource hungry...try opening all sites opened on your ff with ie...mem with ie would be greater than FF!

i m using opera and i m like opera only no FF no IE

FF used to be gr8 in early days. now its takes too much RAM. try using it for 2 hours continuously, u will see. on the other hand IE is quick and doesnt take that much RAM...... comments please

well i m using firefox 2 to reply u

I haD FIREFOX2 but it gave me some problems so uninstalled it.. BUT I KNOW ITS A GOOD BROWSER A FRIEND OF MINE IS ALREADY USING IT AND IS HAPPY WITH IT

**** the firefox, i hate it the most and i do have the reason:
the speed of the first tab is very good but the when i open the second tab and open the link, it does not respond at all, but whereas opera all the tabs work fine with great speed.

Worth the wait ?? Thats a strange question , considering that the diff. version only points to some minor updated features with a updated Gecko engine ... infact , u can tweak v1.5 to be as fast a v2.0 , and miss out on the auto spell check ... v3.0 is good , i tried the alpha (rather a pre-alpha) ... works fine , but crashes randomly ..
