I just heard Firefox 2.0 is out

It is still a beta but it appears to work OK

DON'T INSTALL THIS BETA VERSION OF FIREFOX 2.0!

Apparently it has been causing some SERIOUS problems on users machines.
This fact was announced this week on WHAM's weekend computer show,
SoundBytes ("The Longest Running Computer Show in the Known Universe!"
... over 16 years).

http://soundbytes.org/links.php

I was unable to find the exact link to the warning, as one can't yet
search for text in an audio file <G>, but the above link will point you
to rebroadcasts of the shows, it was on yesterday's, July 16th. (The
archives run about two weeks behind the actual show).

Nick Francesco (and the other two on SoundBytes) have very successful,
long running local computer/IT installation and repair companies, and
have been writing columns for the newspapers and have had this radio
show for years.

Yesterday, they mentioned that they have been seeing a lot of machines
whose browser and other files have been seriously damaged by Firefox 2.0
upgrades...serious crashes, lost files, etc.

He does say that it looks like it will be a great asset (as usual) when
it's finalized, but stay away from it now.  You may not have any
problems, but if you do, you'll wish you never installed it.
