Firefox 2.0 blows
Using IE7 now. Firefox 2.0 sucks bigtime. It randomly hangs about 5 times a day on different websites. I’ve backed up my settings, uninstalled it, downloaded v1.5.0.7 from the releases directory on the Mozilla site (thankfully all the releases are there), and am installing it now. I guess this is an example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, or don’t rush to install new software but wait until the next minor version is released.

Reversion to 1.5.0.7 went fine. No need to restore bookmarks or other user data, these are not removed during uninstallation. No hangs yet on 1.5.0.7. A few extensions and themes weren’t backwards compatible, but a quick visit to the Mozilla extensions site and a bit of trawling through the extension version histories spat out older versions of extensions that were compatible with 1.5.
