Firefox 2.0

[karohemd]

Seems to run OK but the XP-ified interface (rounded, shaded etc.) irritates me as the extra graphics take up more space.
More irritations:
- spellchecker activated as default (found it)
- the little closing x at the top of each tab rather than one x at the far right. If you have a number of tabs open (which I sometimes have for several reference files etc.), it's easy to accidentally close it. Also, there's even less space for text. Anyoneone know if this can be removed?

I've been delaying switching over until someone has a way of removing those 'x's, that really annoys me...

You're lucky.. my installation just keeps freezing my computer! I wish I'd never "up"graded.

try renaming the firefox folder in application settings / mozilla, and run it again with default settings.

Whereas I took the upgrade precisely to have the close buttons on the tabs themselves rather than over on the right - this is the default behaviour under Safari, and I've grown used to it.
