So, I’ve been known to be a bit adventurous when it comes to software. I don’t always wait for the stable version to come out before I download and try. This has not been the case for Firefox until lately. I’ve been following the 1.5 tree, like most people who use the browser.
That changed when I saw that there was a 2.0 beta to play with. i downloaded it and began to use it. The way tabs are opened instead of new windows by default was nice (shades of Opera). And, there were a few other little nice things as well. The drag that I found was that my favorite extension, WebmailCompose, did not work. I did like the improved load time of the new beta, as well as the recover after a crash choice of opening session as it was.
Since my favorite extension didn’t work, I figured why not go back to the way it was in the beginning when I was one of the first to download the first Phoenix browser (0.1), in the days of Netscape 6.2.2. So, tonight, I resume my former role as crash tester (AKA alpha/beta tester) for Firefox. I’m now running version 3.01a (did you know such a version existed?). We’ll see how it goes.
and BTW you can use the MR Tech Local Install 5.2 plugin to force an extension to pretend its compatible, so I do have webmailcompose again!
No screen shots of the new features?? Sheesh! :@
And another question, ‘The Newest One” what?
