Firefox 2.0 the official release now available

October 25, 2006 in Browsers | Permalink

Logo_12 It's here, Mozilla Firefox 2.0 has officially been released. With both Internet Explorer 7 available and Opera 9.10 due soon, the browser market has suddenly become interesting again. Indeed, as they're all free, there's no reason why you can't install and use them all simultaneously.

So, what's new about Firefox 2.0? It has a brand new theme (although whether you prefer this theme is a different matter) and tabs that can be quickly closed by clicking on a cross within each tab. The same tabs can be moved around in order of preference, if required. The latest release also ships with beefed up security, including anti-phishing/fraud support so you don't give away your personal info on a fake website.

If you're a Firefox 1.x user, it's definitely worth upgrading, although many of your existing themes may not work in the new version. Download for yourself and let us know what you think.
