    Oh and it saves your tabs if Firefox shuts down suddenly. (It wanted me to capitalize firefox. [Emoticon not found] )

    Most of mine still work. Like two didn't work with the change... I forgot what they were... But I just realized I have the Dictionary Search add-on. COOL!

    Oh, my skin didn't work. I had to choose a new one. Change is good though. [Emoticon not found]

    plus there's a way to force the extensions to work with 2.0 even if they don't want to.

    I'd heard that memory leaks were worse and they'd failed to port a security patch after the branch for 2.0 . I don't know where that stands, but I'm still going to wait another week or so before I install it on my machine.

    It also seems like the tabs take up more space than they used to. I'm very protective of screen real estate.

    100 % customizable... it's called "userChrome.css"

    It's still a pain to customize every computer I come in contact with. It also seems like it can't fit many tabs across the screen which can be a real pain. They have their whole side button thing, but the whole point of firefox for me is that I don't have to use a mouse very much.

    p.s. the tab width is set in about:config > browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

    you can change everything you want in about:config, then save the prefs.js file as user.js... copy this file (much like copying a bashrc file) to your profile on any computer you use. the values in this file will override the default prefs... pretty freekin' simple.

    a few changes that i think are mandatory:

    user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind", true);
    user_pref("browser.tabs.autoHide", false);
    user_pref("browser.tabs.closeButtons", 2);
    user_pref("browser.urlbar.hideGoButton", true);
    user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.close", true);
    user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable", true);
    user_pref("layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word", false);

    and on linux (makes a middle click close the tab rather than loading content from the clipboard in the tab...):
    user_pref("middlemouse.contentLoadURL", false);

    And AFAIK, the "security" vulnerabilities cames from while(1) loops in javascript. Firefox failed to kill scripts that ran too long.

    Which is fine by me. First off, if you limit how long a script can run, you limit functionality. And if somebody is stupid enough to code an infite loop into their javascript, they ought to be fired on the spot. It's not that hard to avoid. Stupid programmers.

    So as long as the malicious coder isn't stupid enough to put a while(1) loop on his exploit site, no one will ever be cracked [Emoticon not found]?

    Oh wow... I'm going to get a denial of service and have to restart firefox.

    Not a big deal. Not a 'security vulnerability.'

    I was trying find a computer alarm clock that played mp3s and then I realized that FoxyTunes fills that request perfectly. [Emoticon not found]

    Or you could just get Tab Mix Plus.

    bobthecow:

    user_pref("browser.tabs.autoHide", false);

    Bleh. That drives me crazy. But that's the beauty of Firefox: allowing for individual personal preference on such an extreme level. Besides, it's not like having only 1 tab open at a time is all that common. What's everyone's record for the most opened tabs at once (and you were actually using them all)? Mine is 87, but I usually try to keep it from going over 35. Not quite 147...

    bobthecow:

    user_pref("layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word", false);

    I LOVE YOU! I had no idea this existed! This has bugged me for YEARS! THANK YOU! Also, I love the name... "eat space to next word." That's awesome.
