Anyone else checking out FireFox 2.0 rc2?

You mean this http://uk.play.yahoo.com/games/login?game=Pool Seems to work for me. Didnt first time because I missed the pop-up disable/enable warning. Think I got booted 8) You should see warning at top? Check Options, Content that you did not block Yahoo popups by mistake.
If you look at Error console there are loads of css warnings but no errors. I use latest Java 1.5.0.9 - changelog/buglist for some java versions can match those for Firefox so definitely upgrade if using old. Hmm, now I remember Im still on 1.5.0.8, not yet bothered to upgrade because of a tiny changelog this time.
Most likely you can get problem confirmed or not at Mozillazine forums http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php Crappy/broken search is starting to make place annoying but I will be surprised if you dont find Yahoo on page 1 or 2 in bugs/support forum. May be mentioned in sticky/known problems? I saw one reply to similar complain saying Yahoo is still full of IE code blah blah, solution is to use IEtab or IEview. Dont know about that, may be some pages.
In general Yahoo is one of the sites they ask testers of betas/RCs to use so eventually it should work. Favorite sites, home banking etc. MUST work with official release or there will be trouble.
Heh, and just now Firefox crashed when I closed it. I think I know why 8) Well I did see a pool table... no guarantee you will.

My only complaint is the close button on each of the tabs... I liked the old version where you could close them all the way on the right, use your mousewheel to scroll between them and you're done. Rather now you have to go to the tab and kill it. But this is coming from a Keyboard enthusiast and a mouse minimalist. :Thmbsup:

I havent been using FF for a while but installed 2
It looks a lot better than the old FF "out of the box"
but
this thing of not showing all open tabs,
& then, when you open new tab it goes to the end of the queue (if you want it to open in background) & you gotta search for it,
I dont know,
doesnt seem good logic to me, or maybe Im missing something.
Disclaimer :): I'm an Opera fan.
I go back to FF for adblocking & Flashblock,
makes internet a more peaceful place,
but,
also back to it now cause I invested in Surfulator which doesnt work with Opera.

You can change where you want your tabs to open in your settings ( Tools = Options = Tabs ) Check it out. :Thmbsup:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.closeButtons show how to rule close button - so a value of 3 will be "(Firefox 1.x behavior)".
There are also some settings for width of tabs, before the hated scroll icons kicks in. I use Tab Control https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1480/ to get new tab next to current, covers a bit more.
No way around Tab Mix Plus if you want much more - http://tmp.garyr.net/ use Dev build for 2.0. See forum thread, very old stable dev-build. Be careful about Undo and session manager/crash control in TMP, 2.0 have own so disable one of the two. Session manager can still be used to manually save/restore.
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2006/10/top_ten_addons.html sad I think. One of the best known Firefox employees come up with 5 extensions and 1 is a theme, another a search plugin! May be they really need some new blood at top levels. Firefox has always come very close to satisfying me right out of the box -- perhaps that has something to do with the fact that I helped define the initial feature set :-)

Good for him, not good for more than 10-15% market share ;) Those who like extensions/tweaking shouldnt care for 1 second but majority dont use any or have the time/interest to fill gaps.
