I've always used the Qute theme and this latest build works with Firefox 2

You need to paste in the following line to the address bar

javascript:void(InstallTrigger.installChrome(Insta llTrigger.SKIN,'http://www.schrade.com/firefox/themes/QuBranch-1.0.20060917.jar','QuBranch v1.0.20060917'))

Give it a try if your normal theme hasn't been updated yet.

Loosing patience with it.

For about the 10th time in the last two days I've had to kill it when using 99% CPU.
No fancy sites, just the like of SN and BBC News and completely random when it goes.

Here's the latest one, one tab, no content...



1.x never missed a beat through all the versions, this is a bit of a let down.

Yea I noticed high cpu usage to and also in ffox 1.5, I think its something to do with the gfx used on snets homepage, as snet is the only page for me that causes it sometimes.

The new version puts the close-tab button on each tab rather than at the far right. If you're missing the close-tab button on the far right then you can get it back if you go to

about:config

and change

browser.tabs.closeButtons to "3"

Now I'm happy

FFox 2.0 seems more stable on my PC than IE7, which, at least half of the time, closes itself before I can browse. Oh, and 50% of the time, when I open another tab, it crashes as well. Nice one MS.

FFox 2.0 for me.
