Anybody tried Firefox 2.0 yet?


It's quite good, but as there is no SuSE rpm for it yet, it takes a bit of sorting with short cuts etc.

It installs easy enough to get it to work as default out of the box, but after that it get's a bit harder.
Couldn't install any extensions. A bit of search showed to delete "extensions.cache" and "extensions.rdf". Now I was able to install them.
But it falls back to it's pre-default once I quit the session or re-boot.
In the end all I could think of is to un-install the original Firefox via YAST.
So I am now building up all the pathes and menus.
(Got to love the build in Spell checker)
But it's quite obvious that I will have to find a proper build rpm eventually to get this to work the way it should.

I really like the new FireFox, but I miss the old 'search on type'. This one doesn't give the 'Next' option.

I love it - I'm using it now. It works perfectly and is a definite improvement on the old version.
addons and extensions are working perfectly too!
