Firefox 2.0.0.4 released

Mozilla has updated the popular Firefox browser to version 2.0.0.4, with the main changes being security fixes, improved support for Windows Vista and new languages (Afrikaans and Belarusian). The full release notes can be viewed here and if Firefox does not automatically update you can manually download the new version either by clicking on the “Help” menu and choosing “Check for Updates” or by visiting the Mozilla download page. Firefox 2.0.0.4 is available for Windows, Mac OS X and most versions of Linux – check here for a full list of downloads. Don’t forget that add-ons and themes may require compatibility updates for this new version of Firefox.

This is good news. Better Vista compatibility. Im debating the notion if I want to reformat and install Vista or reformat and install XP Professional Corporate Edition. I havent exactly made up my mind yet.

^ seconded, your hardwares great, but it'd slow down under vista rather than be an improvement. (no DX10, no high speed ram to make up for the extra usage, etc)

server 2K3 has the core of vista without the extras... so it should be quite responsive.

(Of course, feel free to dual boot )

No such problems here, probably just a glitch that won't affect many people.

Im thinking of dual booting. I need to get me another HD or two. Id like to put Ubuntu and Mandrake on my system as well. Just to get a feel for them.

I got Windows Server 2000 or Windows 2000 Professional or whatever it is on my laptop here at work. Its alright but Id like to give Vista a go. I dont think it would hurt much and my Ram can oc well. Id think Id be alright. Im not on DX10 graphics yet, but I will be here in the next few months.
