just one thing, if firefox 2.0 deactivates your extensions than this has also the effect on 1.5.0.4. The extensions will be deactivated if you start 1.5.0.4 again and you have to activate them again in the extensions menu. (Tools -> Extensions)

Right click an extension and select enable.

You will have to restart the old firefox afterwards.

What is performance like?

Martin says, July 9th, 2006   

I was not able to witness a performance increase

Pity. That’s the only thing I hate about Firefox.

What’s the use if I can’t use most of my plug-ins cos of compatibility issues? Why be in a rush to download and install a beta software?

I’d stick with my version 1.5.0.4 for now. :)

Extensions are deactivated based on the compatibility range defined by their authors: If an extension is specified by its author only to be compatible with 1.x then Firefox will deactivate it in 2.x, simply because the author said so, not because it won’t work. 90% of all extensions actually do work once the compatibility status has been updated.

You can either do this manually or use the “Nightly tester Tool” ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/958/ ) which adds a “Make compatible” option to the Addon manager.

[...] I’ve been learning a lot about Firefox in the last week, stuff that isn’t immediately apparent to a user. I’ve had some expert guides, but I’m not sure how they feel about me saying who they are, so I’ll err on the side of caution. One this is for sure, Firefox doesn’t move very much, from a UI perspective. So while it’s a nice cross-platform browser and it doesn’t have the malware problems that Microsoft’s has, we still haven’t got much in the way of forward motion from a user’s perspective. This user’s review of Firefox 2.0 preview confirms. “The new version looks like the old and feels like the old. Changes have been introduced in the background mainly.” Of course it’s good that the boat isn’t rocking, but we could have some new features, every decade or so.   [...]

Both a Beta 1 AND a Release Candidate? Pick one or the other, Mozilla. It can’t be both.
