You can find a list of the security vulnerabilities for each of the Firefox versions Here. The list also details security fixes for Thunderbird (email client), SeaMonkey (internet application suite) SeaMonkey. Has anybody ever used SeaMonkey? Must admit I haven't.

Also find Firefox V 2.0.0.1 here



Fudzy
Sheesh, ran the update from within FF and its a 7MB download. Would've been nice to see a few graphic tweaks or something for the size of the download.
Bone
It's too slow to download using Internet Explorer
Gitano
heh?
Its probably your internet connection bud.
Have you tried going to mozilla.com and downloading from there?
Bone
No. But I'll see. Maybe I don't need firefox. Do you recemmend me to get firefox?
cyfermaster
Yes. FF is way better then IE.
Gitano
Haha!
Yes, I do!
I definitely recommend Firefox, its the best browser available in my small, little humble opinion.

It take a small amount of getting used to if you have used IE your entire life, but after a week, you wont ever want to go back!
Wolf
I will "third" that, Firefox is much faster than IE
Bone
Yeah. Now that I have Firefox 2.0 it even faster when downloading something from the internet. Thanks biggrin.gif
Gitano

Me too. The comment for the IE shortcut in my quick launch bar says "Break teh interwebs".
Bone
Yes. It's faster and better but when you open lots of tabs it gets slower.
Gitano
Obviously opening lots of tabs is going to make everything slower, because its not like you are viewing one webpage. The more webpages you are viewing, the more information needs to be transmitted over your internet connection, so it doesn't matter if you have many open in tabs, or you have many explorers open at once, you are still trying to view loads of webpages at once, and so all of that info needs to get to you through your connection, hence... sloooooower.....
Bone
Well I have to read this forum so I open tabs so once I finish reading a topic I cold just close the ab instead of clicking the back button
Gitano
Well normally if you open a new tab to look at a topic of a post, you wont be able to click the 'back' button, because that topic that you are looking at is the first page you have viewed in that tab. So yes, you would have to close the tab, or click on a new link.
Bone
Yes. But if you don't open a tab and just click the link you can click back and go back. Correct?
Gitano
Correct
docmoo
just remember that having a trillion tabs open will eventually cause the demise of your computer.

each tab is essentially another instance of the browser, so 5 tabs is like having the application open 5 times. a cache is also kept on each tab to try make browsing faster. so more tabs means more memory required and the longer you keep the browser open with more and more tabs, the quicker it will become a memory whore requiring you to kill it off and restart it again. sad.gif

also, the Zend php IDE and Firefox is not a good combo to leave running together for too long sad.gif they both are memory hogs sad.gif
Bone
That's what happened when I first came. I open a million tabs because I wanted to read everything. Then the computer crash.
master01
In Firefox you can bookmark several open tabbed pages as a single bookmark. The next time you use that bookmark, all the pages will open in separate tabs at the same time.
Thats coolllll
Gitano
Yeah it is pretty cool. I have my homepage set to these forums and my gmail account, so whenever I open the browser, both open together.
RenegadeNukes
How do you do that gitano?
Bone
It isn't logged in if you set it to your gmail account. You still have to type sername + pass
Mr. Magic Matrix
I think Nukes wants to know how exactly to set up 2 homepages so that they open at once
Bone
I don't know haw to set 2 but I know how to set one. Go to Tools then Options... You can type the address to set the homepage or use the current page.
