Firefox 2.0 Beta 2	Permalink

The open source Mozilla Foundation has delayed the release of Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 by a week because of bugs yet to be ironed out in the browser software. Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 was set to appear this week, but it will now make an appearance on 15 August. The new browser will offer users improved security features and greater functionality. Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 was unveiled last month. Despite the delay, Firefox 2.0 is still expected to appear on 26 September, its original release date. Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X editions of Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 are available from the Mozilla website. According to web analytics firms the Firefox browser has over 10% of the browser market, with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer on around 85%. Source __________________

Mozilla has just entered into a multi-year agreement with Real Networks to have Firefox distributed with downloads of RealPlayer, Rhapsody, and RealArcade. The term of each agreement is for two years, with the possibility of extending them further depending on a number of factors, including the volume of downloads recorded. The Mozilla team cited Real's estimated 2 million downloads per day as a great tool for distribution. However, many Firefox supporters question the move complaining of questionable practices by Real.

Firefox 2.0 disables all extensions that are not mentioned as compatible with 2.0 by their authors. Most however can be made to work with firefox 2.0 using am a extension called Nightly Tester Tools to make the extensions compatible Download and install the extension. Restart firefox afterwards and click on tools then add-ons. Click `Make all compatible` and restart firefox again. All extensions should now be compatible with firefox 2.0. If there are problems with incompatibilities, deactivate all extensions again and activate one by one to see which one is causing the problem. Then wait for that author to write an update. info from gHacks __________________
