runesmithie Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Anyone have it yet? Any impressions? I'm personally waiting until the autoupdater gets it for me, because I'm too lazy to travel on over to the appropriate site :P I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

Mercifull Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I was gonna wait a week or so first incase there's any major fubars with it.

Anesthesia Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have had it since beta 1. I don't like the new skin (assuming it uses the one from the betas - I replaced it with one to make it look like original FF), I don't like the tab-scrolling, I preferred it when they bunched up all small. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Of course I have it! :P I have since alpha 3 ;) Anesthesia: to get your tabs to bunch up closer together without showing the scroll UI set browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to something small (like 30 or so.) See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.tabs.tabMinWidth for more info. If you're not familiar with configuring advanced preferences, type about:config in your location bar and then in the filter box type "tabs" Then double click on browser.tabs.tabMinWidth and set the new value. Now, back to Firefox 2... it rocks! :D And if you go to Help -> About Mozilla Firefox -> Credits, my name is in there! My favourite new features in Fx 2 would have to be session restore and inline spell checking - Firefox crashing and losing all my tabs (which kind of work like a to-do list) was one of the biggest pains in the [wagon], and my spelling isnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t great (although itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s not bad either) so these make a big difference to me. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m not so enthusiastic about microsummaries, and while the visual refresh is cool, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s not uber fantastic. I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t use search plugins (I use quicksearch bookmarks to save UI space) but I do appreciate all the other thousands of bugs that have been fixed for the release. I canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t wait for Fx 3 too - Fx2 was branched off the same branch as 1.5 was on (1.8) so there have been things fixed on the trunk from over a year ago that will not be in Fx2, but thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s development for you :) Where the bloody hell are you?

Anesthesia Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I found there was a setting in the tabbrowser preferences addon which sorted it. I too like the session restore feature, it is particularly good when you've just downloaded an addon or update of some sort and have to restart FF. Some people are changed by being a moderator.

Cruiser Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I was gonna wait a week or so first incase there's any major fubars with it. I think the thousands upon thousands of testers pounding at it since beta 1 would have found those by now. :P My favourite new features in Fx 2 would have to be session restore and inline spell checking Now if we could just get most of the forums using that inline spell checking, we'd be off to a *really* good start. :XD: The admins have something to point at now when someone suggests a spellcheck mod too. :mrgreen: I'll be installing it when I get home tonight. I'll have to do a little tweaking to fix the tab scrolling and move the close button back to the right edge (I middle click to close tabs anyway) but overall it sounds like a solid release. :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvw08 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Just got it, I have to say, I love the spell checker, as well as the close-tab-on-every-button feature, so I don't have to think about which tab I'm closing when I hit the button :P. And, believe it or not, there's still bugs in it, When I first installed it erased all my bookmarks and would lock up whenever I tried to add anymore. Thanks to The FF IRC folks, I got it all working though :) Droolman's item Guide | My RuneScape pictures | My barrows videos, with download link!Free Image Hosting! | Free File Hosting!

Cruiser Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 One thing I have noticed that I don't like are the new default bookmark toolbar buttons. The old bar used flat buttons with no edges while the new default skin uses rounded corners and ends the button extremely close to the end of the text. Wish my skin would update for 2.0. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Making it a different directory during install wouldn't matter, it's still going to play with all your user settings when it's first installed. You can still find the 1.5.0.7 installer on the FTP if you absolutely have to get back off 2.0 till things settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmms Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 no, i wanted to make it a differnt dirt so i can test for bugs, but i forgot i already found few bugs in it so i could still have1.5, and 2 install but i dont feel like fixing it so im letting it go Aefx(started 11/1/2002) Cb: 200 TS: 1900+Bmms--Jr(Started on 1/24/06)(Banned 11/13/09 ) Cb: 119(pre-eoc) TS: 1700+Bmms(Started 8/?/2001)(Banned 1/24/06 ) Cb: 101(pre-eoc) TS: 1350+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runesmithie Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just installed it manually and it was a MESS using my old profile so I cleaned everything and started a new one and now its fine :) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

PumpkinPete112 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Can anyone say it has a spell checker out of the box? I can, this is the end of spelling mistakes, Muhahahahahahaha! Sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runesmithie Posted October 29, 2006 Author Share Posted October 29, 2006 It does, I just typed bad spulling and it put a red line under spulling and you right click to suggest words :) (Whoops, found another mistake :D) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

Anesthesia Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Next question is... Who's getting 3.0a1? Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Millions of other users have had no trouble with installing Firefox 2 over the top of 1.5.0.*, but if you've got anything reproducible, please do file a bug. I love the spellchecker too :D It sucks that some locales don't come with a dictionary by default (licensing issues) but you can easily download them by right clicking in a form field -> langauges -> Add dictionaries :) Where the bloody hell are you?

Anesthesia Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 How exactly does the spellchecker work? I've got it enabled now and I don't notice anything when I'm typing posts and deliberately spell something wrong. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

Vape Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Anesthesia: by default, it only works in multiline form fields (ie. works on post body, but not on post subject. Also, if you right click, select "languages" and there's no dictionaries in there, you have to install one. Click "add dictionaries" and it should offer you one for your locale. You then have to restart Firefox, then type something incorrect and it should work. If it doesn't then, drop into #darkwebz or ping me on moznet As for using trunk - you gotta be brave! I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who's not a developer. Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
