Well I for one have just given up on Firefox. Mozilla wanted to prove something and they did. They got Microsoft off their fat lazy buts and their now working on revamping IE7 (Witch I'm using right now by the way and Opera.)

But as of Lately Firefox has not been getting on the users good sides and if I were Mozilla I'd be wanting to work more on the memory leaks as of now than go sending an alpha of 2.0 out. I'd release a 1.5.1 version of Firefox that fixes alot of the bugs than jumping the gun and getting an alpha released.

If you look at it 1.0 it had it's problems but it wasn't as buggy as 1.5 is. It wasn't till version 1.0.7 that's when the bugs started popping in. And I used the alpha's and the beta's of firefox 1.5 cause they were much more stable and used quiet less memory than 1.07 and the later final release of 1.5.

If Mozilla doesn't get their act togther and actually fix what the users want fixed right now instead of pushing for the release of 2.0 their going to find alot of ex-users like myself get people to switch to browsers like K-meleon or Opera even the future IE 7.0 yes I said it cause IE7 though I'm running the beta doesn't use as much memory, it's got a beautiful new interface (That's what you get with build 5299), it's safer, it actually has gotten some web standards improvements too it and it blocks pop ups galore unlike Firefox right now.

I'm not trying to be a microsoft enthusiast right now but I hate saying this but Microsoft has definately improved since Firefox and other open source applications hit the scene.

So torch me, flame me, burn me at the stake for what I've said but I'm a very very dissapointed user of Mozilla's and until they get the clue to follow what the users want as of now their not going to find much point in keeping up with Firefox when former users start to bash it and kill like I've been done now.

And sorry about the rant and sorry for bashing and flaming

I'd agree with all of that. Since I've been using Firefox, the 1.5 version is nothing but a disgrace .. constant crashes, huuuuuuuuge memory leaks, etc .....

hurry up with IE7 final, microsoft :D

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
