Firefox 2.0 Beta 2

Okay, you all already know that Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 has been released. And you may be as curious about it as I have been.
I am using Firefox on a non-Intel Mac and so it is kinda slow. The good news is that FF 2.0 is much faster than the 1.5 version on a Mac. The bad news is that there are not many compatible extensions (now called add-ons in FF 2.0) available. But not all of the not-compatible ones are really not compatible.
There is an add-on that makes it possible to use the the old extensions like Greasemonkey by disabling the default compatibility-check in Firefox: the Nightly Tester Tools add-on/extension.

But what about the awful look now? Firefox looks crappy and non of the other buttons match in size and shape. So, there already is a preview of the GrApple themes for the 2.0 version here.

So, everything seems to work for me now. I can get rid of a few extensions that are now already build into Firefox and it almost looks like it did before.

Test it yourself.
