I have been following the Firefox 2.0 Beta versions with bated breath. I am so happy that I made the switch away from the blue E on my PC. Firefox is everything good about open source and a community based project. So why do I bring this up?
They have just released a beta version in their nightly builds section that implements the new Visual Refresh theme. You can see the post I saw here. You will also note a download to the portable version of Firefox, which will allow you to test the software without messing up your current profile should there be a bug. Simply download it, extract it, and then delete the folder when finished. Remember, this is absolutely beta software and may will have an error or two. They say it works on a mac, but I have only tested it on a PC. I intend to go and compile it on Linux to see how that works.
This is a good and stable release, for a beta. If you aren’t one to typically forage into beta software, give this one a shot. You will see sublte yet powerful differences between Firefox 1.5.0.x and Bon Echo (2.0 Beta).
So good luck, have fun, oh, and yes, the bad marine jokes will stop.
