It's been out for a while. At first I hated it, then I got a new skin, and found some extensions to make it work the way I like it. Now it's all "new browser, same as the old browser" to me.

Someone needs to fix that bug where HTTP downloads (no matter how small) freeze the browser for a few seconds though. That's starting to make me crazy. It's been in Firefox since before 2.0 though.

My boss forces me to use it since it has built in spellchecking, but I love the extensions now. Good for mass downloading pr0n. <--doesn't trigger spellcheck. funny.

The only problem I have run into is PDF files kept on FTP sites crash the application.

That's odd. Must be the incorrect header data.

Its been out for a bit, and I honestly had to DOWNGRADE mine because my 2.0 was having a connection error and wouldn't open ANY sites. I might try upgrading it again soon.

Firefox 3 alpha is out now. They're pretty quick to jump on the next one.

The Rikachan extension is very nice.

But I still love using Maxthon. Better tab features, better mouse gestures and a little bit better interface than Firefox make some browsing more beneficial on it.

I think I use Firefox 60% of the time and Maxthon 40%.

Yeah... I've been using that since before 2.0 and it's more or less the Firefox "Killer App" for me. It is the kind of thing that when you see it, you wonder why nobody did it years ago. The dictionaries that it uses have been around for quite some time...

I can't find the Rikachan extension in the Firefox site.

Firefox: Mac + PC. Just thought I'd poke a little fun at ipod ads. I like it and it hasn't given me any problems so far, though admittedly I don't use that many extensions. Just the IE tab and um another one that I can't remember. And ironically I'm using Safari right now... don't ask why I just use it sometimes.

Same here. It pisses me off. You spelled your name wrong apparently according to FF2

Oh yes. Forgot to say. There's an extension out for myspace addicts. It's called myspacemozilla, and I don't know how I could have myspaced w/o it.
