I've switched over completely to Firefox 2.0b2. It's not out yet, +but the beta is a lot faster in Linux, so I decided not to wait. +What's new?

+ + + +

Firefox 2.0b2 Tab Behavior (1 of 3): Tab Bar

+ +

Firefox 2.0b2 Tab Behavior (2 of 3): Pop-Up Menu

+ +

Firefox 2.0b2 Tab Behavior (3 of 3): Scrolling Tabs

+ +

Unfortunately, Firefox 2.0 isn't all sunshine and roses. A huge number +of extensions broke. While most of the important ones (read: +Ad Block Plus), have been ported, really useful ones like +Greasemonkey haven't. There appear to be some minor quirks +with inline find. They also attached the Go button on the URL entry to +the URL entry itself; you can disable it using the Customize context +menu option any more. I found this forum post after a bit +of searching, which basically says to add the following snippet to your +userChrome.css file:

+ +
/* don't display the annoying go button */
+#go-button { display: none; }
+
+ +

You can disable the resizing search entry in there too. I still haven't +decided whether or not I like it. The behavior of the backspace key +changed too, although I'm not sure if that was a Firefox 2.0 change, or if my +config got munged during the upgrade. Anyway, you can switch it to go +back instead of doing nothing by setting browser.backspace_action to 0 in +good-old about:config.

+ +

By the way, if you can't keep all the versions of Adblock and Adblock +plus straight, it's because the history of the both kind +of reads like a soap opera.
