Most extensions can run in 2.0b2 with the Nightly Tester Tools (do not use Download Manager Tweak, that will break your options Window). Tabbrowser Preferences while install does not seem to work any more forcing search results to open in new tab. I’ll have to look into this more and see if they have any news on this. As for Tab Mix Plus, never really cared for that extension seemed too complicated and bloated.

I think you can probably find that feature in Tab Mix Plus, but I don’t remember…

I too would find it hard to go back from Firefox 2. Not much of a reason to do it, as ff2 is now pretty stable for me.

It would be nice to regain some extensions, though, but it’s not something I can’t live without.

Oh, speaking of extensions, on the 1.x days when I started a search in the toolbar search box, it automatically opened in a new tab. I think that the ‘Tab Browsing preferences’ extension was responsible for that.

Anyone know how to replicate that behavior under 2.0?

Oh! I am using firefox 2. Indeed find it hard to go back to fifox 1.5. How could that be possible?

I was wondering who you were since you said in the previous article that you finally registered. Now it makes sense.

Some people donâ€™t like the new GUI of 2.0 but I love it.

That has taken a little getting use to for me, but it doesn’t bother me now.

I still use FF 1.5.0.6 for mission critical tasts like my college website and other things of that sort. Otherwise I imported all my bookmarks to FF 2.0 Beta 2 and I use it all the time.

Can’t wait for 1.5.0.7 though, I gotta love security updates

Yep, been using FF 2.0 Beta 2 now full time as well for a couple days now. I guess I’ll have to reload 1.5.0.6 to get it to update, not that I really plan on using it…
