I just downloaded and it seems to be faster than the other one and it has a pretty cool spell check feature to it, but that is all I have noticed different as of yet
 
Even this doesn't work for me. None of the settings/bookmarks save. Well, guess I'm staying with Opera.
 
I'm VERY disappointed with Firefox... Every new version after 1.5 has given me problems with typing in these text boxes and copy/pasting stuff. I was hoping 2.0 would be correctly, but seeing as it's not, I'm probably going to use IE 7...
 
I have been using 2.0 (a "private" beta even though you could have gotten it by going to the right public mozzila site :rolleyes: and I havn't had a single one of your problems :/ Now I'm afraid to upgrade to the latest beta of 2.0 lmao...
 
Well as I said, I've had this problem since sometime after 1.5(I KNOW that version works) The problems are rather minor, but very annoying. For instance, pressing the ' key will sometimes cause the search bar to come up. A few people have said "Oh, it's your computer and blah blah blah..." Well, I'm on my new computer with a brand-freakin-new copy of windows on it and it STILL acts up. I also have friends who had the same problem.
