The new firefox 2 alpha has been released, code named Bon Echo.   It isn't full featured yet but I can already see a major improvement!! Tabbed Browsing is improved with session reoveries, butter tabbed environment. It is also faster again than 1.5. The feel of it is also very nice and I haven't come accross any bugs. I wouldn't recommend for general users, but for those of you who don't mind alphas, I suggest it. Downlaod here http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho ... 2.0a1.html

Bon Echo...now that's a cool name...Looks quite good...I prefer FF to IE anyday...just like I would prefer the F-16 to the F-14 anyday

It's named Bon Echo in the tradition of naming there alphas after public parks. Bon Echo is one in Canada i do believe and it translates to good echo. They choose it because they want FF 2 to be an echo of FF 1 in the sense that it will improve browsing for the general user.
I agree FireFox blows IE out of the water. I used to have adaware, spybot and virus scans every 3 days with IE. Now that I use Firefox I don't need to have adaware or spybot installed and I run virus scans every 6 months without a single virus found. It's also faster and the tabbed browsing is awesome, there is no beating it!!

Hey M$, watta we gonna do tonite?

*M$*

The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world [with IE].

*Key Word: Try*

Sorry, I had to say that. M$ is actually implimenting tabbed browsing [as shown in the CES video] on IE once Vista comes out. But everyone knows that IE will never beat FF [not in a million years].

LOL!!! Love it ^^

I heard about abbed in IE7, but firefox is faster and has extensions to make it even better ^^

I use FF now. Vs the Alpha, when will the official version be released?
