Correction...only IE is now working I can't get the old version of firefox to access the internet even though the firewall has granted it permission.
Lary, you might have thought of this but try here for some help. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website

I downloaded and installed the upgrade 3 days ago without any problem. (I learned about the upgrade being available early from another forum.)

Mine works fine

I like the spell check item...even does grammar, not that I need help with either of those very often, but sometimes my fingers get ahead of my brain

Thanks but I did something else that worked for me. I did an install of my XP Pro over the system, that didn't help. Then I downloaded a new copy of my firewall from CA (computer associates) and then removed the old one.

I installed the new copy of the firewall and here I am

Something in that old firewall must have been corrupted as Firefox had permission to access the Internet, but couldn't do it.

When all else fails, reinstall the programs

Glad you got it working again Lary.

I have a computer here that I have to do something similar too. (my 98se machine) When it starts acting funny I have to FDISK, FORMAT and re-install everything.

One more reason to look hard at a Mac.

Have you fellows seen a couple of cool extensions for 2.0?

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2207/

This one really works great. I liked the way the older version of itunes had the controls on the menu bar when minimized, but the newer versions don't have that. This gives you that functionality back.

The only monitors I have that are less that 21" is on my laptop and vehicle DVD player.

Back to the topic. I dont like the way 2.0 scrolls the tabs when you open more than 5 or 6 tabs

Firefox for the mac is great, IE for the mac is worse than useless.

Ive been using FireFox for a long time and only keep IE around for those sites that cant use IE (Mostly work related).
2.0 seems to be working fine for me... so far. I have not tried 2.0 from behind my works firewall. I will see about this my next trip in to the office.
However, I am very glad to see FireFox finally get some built in spell checking.

Rich.

I've had 2.0 running for about 5 minutes now so I'll ask a beginners question. When I started 1.x, it would automatically open all 15 tabs that had been open when I closed it. I see that 2.0 doesn't have a Sessionsaver option but I thought that was to let me go back one iteration and open the last set of tabs. Maybe I was wrong. How do I get 2.0 to open all the tabs that were open when I closed it last?
