I am currently using 2.0 RC3 which I have been using for a while now. So I really dont think I am going to change over right now

Definitions of love on the Web (2 shown):

* have a great affection or liking for; "I love French food"; "She loves her boss and works hard for him"

* sexual love: sexual activities (often including sexual intercourse) between two people; "his lovemaking disgusted her"; "he hadn't had any love in months"; "he has a very complicated love life"

hmm.. I'd say my feeling for FF2 fits the first one, but definitely not something like the last one. :p

Slightly Off-topic: Also, wasn't a glass winstripe (Vista) suppose to appear in 2.0 final?

A tremendous amount has changed under the hood in Firefox 2.0. For one, Javascript support was updated to 1.7 which fixes a ton of bugs right there. They've added inline spell-checking in all text fields, phishing protection, browser resume, more support for RSS and SVG, and most especially the updates to the Tab Browsing (links that open in new windows now open in new tabs). The theme itself (obviously) is new and as for the question about the glass, I don't think they were aiming to go completely 'Vista' with the UI but most of the images have some level of transparency so they pick up on the colors being used in the OS (In Vista it's a light grey and in luna it's the tan color).

I've been using version 2.0 since Beta 1 and it's improved tremendously throught the testing process. I think that it is a HUGE improvement from 1.5. I didn't even need to install Tab Mix Plus as I couldn't find uses for it anymore. So do I love it? Yes, I love Firefox. I wouldn't go around screaming like a fanboy and wouldn't wear a Firefox shirt or whatever but it is my favorite browser. :p

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the tab list button so that you can have all your tabs listed at the top instead of some going into the drop down menu on the right?

Ok, now I have a question :-)

Anyone knows how to force FF 2.0 to use Google ONLY when I select text and right click on it and then choose "Search <search engine here> for <selected text here>" ?

FF2.0 seems to default the search to the currently selected one in the upper right corner of the browser. So if it's IMDB, then it'll look through IMDB and not Google.

In 1.5 it was always Google - no matter which engine was chosen in the search bar.

I like it. I especially like the spell checker since I misspell so many words (such as misspell). It seems faster too.

The one thing I don't like is the memory usage.

Same here, the spell checker is something that has been needed for a long time.

I really like Firefox 2.0, especially the spell checker. For now I have no intentions of going back to IE including IE7. Firefox has to many features I can't live without, that the other browsers don't have.

I wish it was a woman so I could make sweet, sweet love to it. It's very nice. Oh yeah baby.

:laugh:

I wouldn't necessarily say that I love it, but I would say that I am pretty happy with Firefox 2.0.
