Well look at this..

Everyone that has been saying "Beta 1 is here! Beta 1 is here!" over and over for the nightly releases can finally see beta 1.

I don't know why Mozilla can't fix the "Memory Usage" problem....i mean that's why Opera is better than FF....otherwise both of them are ruling the Browsers Market......

It's "Fx", NOT "FF".

I doubt anyone cares about if being Fx rather than FF. FF what is got stuck into people's minds, FF will be used.

Mozilla actually have said that they prefer Firefox to be shortened to fx.

@OP if you don't have enough ram for a couple of hundred MB then you must have a really old pc. That said I agree that they should try to minimize RAM useage.

The name of the browser is Firefox. Mozilla says on their website that the abbreviation therefore is Fx. It's not FireFox or Fire Fox or anything like that. It's Firefox.

That's like all the people who still think Explorer in Windows is the thing they browse the web with and the the screensaver is the picture that is on your desktop background! That's what's stuck in people's heads, but it doesn't mean it's correct.



OK, I give up! It's nucular....

opera isnt better! you take that back!! j/k... they each have there good points. ive said it once i'll say it again, they should become one... operfox. and while they combine them, it could be called, "opera"tion firefox

Haha, good one.

I'm thinking on giving it a try but I'd better wait for a non-beta release. That memory consumption bug would make FF (yah, it's FF as in FireFox not FX or whatever) even better/used than it is right now.

People mind it when their computer starts to slow down because of something as light as your browser.

I definitely love the new "application" tab in the options but you STILL can't add new ones if you want? What the hell?

I want to be able to add new application extensions to download or open at will!

Many interesting new features, though less new features, yet. I think I'll wait for the next beta version.

Cool, but I myself would honestly wait until the final is released and bugs are sorted out. For now I'll stick with my 2.0.0.9. I've had bad experiences with beta software in the past so I avoid using beta software when I can. Nonetheless It looks like a promising release.

its funny, beta 1 rc3, worked better than the final. i had to uninstall it, kept slowing down the computer down to a freeze. i hope they fix the problems. hell with all the money they got, they could hire some pple for help.

AFAIK, Mozilla are a non-commercial company. Maybe they get money through donations and from sponsors, but they don't have commercial products (except for the few t-shirts and hats).
