Mozilla Firefox 2.0 Beta 2

Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 is now available.

Ohh, beta 2. Will my 1.5.0.6 still work if I install this in another dir?

Has the default style been changed?! See how my Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 looks like.

That's what the UI looks like on my [WinXP] Beta 2, except the tabs aren't quite as rounded.

[MrNase]

Oh that's bad.. The new style is butt ugly.

I hope they're not planning on building in Skype like I had read. Is this included, or will it be an extension?

I'd rather have the option to have just a base browser with nothing fancy.

A new function in this beta: you can select the tab you want with the arrow at the right of the tab line

It's me or all accesskey (like Alt + S for save a post) didn't work anymore with this version? Is there a new option in Firefox for this function or not?

Thanks for the link Quillz. I have been using it for a day now and Beta 2 rocks! No problems what so ever.

OK, here's the funny thing, I couldn't open this link in FF, had to use IE to get it.

I have them both open.

One thing I miss, is Roboform doesn't work. They only make updates for full versions, not beta's.

It's been moved to Alt+Shift+S. It's stupid, I know. Alt+S is now a hotkey to access your history. I wish there was a way to alter this; I preferred how it was before.

Thankfully the built in Password function works on 99% of the site I use.

The only time I ever used Roboform was when it was bundled with Maxthon. I didn't even know it was a standalone application.
