Firefox 2 now available. Honest.
Firefox 2 has been available since sometime last night (though you had to use a sneaky way of getting it, downloading it from Mozilla's FTP server. Such intrigue!) but now it is totally, completely officially available. For reals, as the kids say in just such circumstances.Go forth and download, for it is good (this post was written using Firefox 2, as a matter of fact).

I'm on Mac 10.4.8 and I installed FF 2.0 yesterday. Everything is working well except a seeming problem with Flash. I can't view YouTube videos or most multimedia content on ESPN.com. I installed Flash 9 but it didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?
I love it so far. I upgraded from 1.0.7 (I think). So far no probs.

p.
does it work with chris peidericks web developer toolbar? Anyone?
the pre-release candidates didnt.
Thanks, ToeKnee!
The Command-W thing is still annoying, though.
Firefox also renders some MacUpdate pages badly -- like the one for Firefox: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10700. It puts a big blank space above the app description. This was true pre-2.0 as well.
I see there's now CaminoSession, which is supposedly like SessionSaver for Camino. I'll have to check that out -- it was one of the things keeping me from using Camino as my primary browser.
No thanks. I'll wait for Camino 1.1

Just wanted to add: forcing extensions sometimes works fine, and sometimes they just refuse to properly function, it is still worth a shot, though, if you want to try and upgrade before everything is updated.

Or you can grab the Nightly Tester Tools extension and forcibly enable those extensions and skins. I've used it for some time on both my macs and pcs for when I use community builds that break extensions.
