Firefox has released the beta of their next version. This is highly recommended only for testers, and they emphasis that if you are at all concerned, do not use this, stick with version 1.07. If you do not have that version, please upgrade. I have installed the beta and have been using it on one of my machines and it does not work with all extensions, but otherwise, so far so good.
Here is the link if you would like more information.
I can’t imagine either. I began using it when I had a problem with spyware. I couldn’t believe the difference in my machine and the amount of spyware that has now, almost ceased. I will gladly try their betas, and not even glance at IE.
I have been using Firefox for around a year now. I felt brave enough to try the 1.5 Beta 1. It works just fine for me. I don’t use a lot of extensions, so can’t speak to any problems there. Overall the Beta seems just a little more stable. I will still hang-up once in a while, but seems to do so less than with the standard version.
For over 10 months I have been using Firefox exclusively except for those sites that require Internet Explorer. And I can only think of 2 of those, being certain Microsoft update sites and McAfee. I had to reload my McAfee program and they made me go through IE for the access, why I don’t know. The Tabs, Bookmarks, and the Page Searching are so very easy to use, I can’t imagine being without these features.
