Gerard Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I use two firefox extentions: Colorzilla - a colour dropper, selects any colour on the page or an image and displays its value in RGB and Hex Web Developer - a toolbar with masses of functionality, including css/html editing (of the site you're viewing), css/html validation, image viewing (+locations), element outlining (useful for fixing tables/divs) and quick options (eg disable JS) I also make good use of the bookmarks toolbar, having an icon at the top of my screen for all the sites I visit regularly. Not to mention you can download Firefox 2.0 already from Mozilla FTP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Don't forget UnPlug. It pwns VideoDL soooo hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisman Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Added some more extensions EDIT: Added themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 So yeah, it was supposed to be released tomorrow. But...psst.... Never put shit on your FTP servers early ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...2.0/win32/en-US Notice sexified buttons and inline spell-checker for internet forms. The good news is that 6 out of my 9 installed extensions work, the ones that don't are: gtafcode (Post as IMG, post as URL, etc...for IPB-based forums) SearchPluginHacks (Nothing much, don't worry about it, it doesn't concern you) Fasterfox (Eh...didn't help me THAT much) Anyway it's sexy and I really think you should get it!

Sherman Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Looks nice. Too bad I can't run it. I'm not even able to UPDATE my current firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Good, I've been looking forward to the final release of 2.0, I didn't bother with any of the beta's or RC's. I hope all my extensions work. P.S. The link chris82 posted is for the US locale. If you live in a different country you'll likely want your localised version for the built in search engines and dictionaries etc. Click your language here and get the setup file: ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...ases/2.0/win32/ And BTW when you posted that it was still 23rd in USA, it was the 24th already here and throughout the rest of the world actually, yeah only North and South America were still in yesterday, so it may not have been an accidental early release. Having said that, Check for Updates in my 1.5 still isn't finding anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris82 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I just installed 2.0 right over my 1.5 install. BTW sorry, but you guys are lucky having a day before us...except when it comes to GTA being released. And the Mozilla page still isn't showing 2.0 as the release...

Pandora Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 will you also get that windows vista themed look for mozilla? And I use IE, what's the differents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 There are big differences between IE and Firefox. Firefox is faster, more secure, better at displaying web pages and you can download thousands of themes and extensions to add functionality to the browser. IE7 is just a copy of a lot of Firefox's features such as tabbed browsing. Firefox 2 goes one step further and adds things like an inbuilt spellchecker.

Chris Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I'm downgrading to 1.5 probably, some annoying bugs probably specific to me which I don't like. And it's crashed twice already. The upgrade has been rushed to be compete with IE7. The release is too soon and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 SQL error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11) SQL error code: Date: Sunday 29th 2006f October 2006 04:11:14 PM I got this error a few times... but that's off topic so If I install firefox IE will still stay on my com right?
