The first improvement that I see is that the small blank window that would appear when expose was used is gone.
I also noticed a nice speed boost.

So, I just downloaded Firefox ... it looks and acts the same, and I still have that pesky little white window in Expose!
Is there a special link to get RC2, or is the giant "DOWNLOAD FIREFOX" thing RC2? Just wondering, since I'm not noticing a difference and the "About" window doesn't mention if this is RC1 or RC2.

Yes, those kind of links are fine because they're legal downloads.
dotnina said:Oh of course -- I just thought it was odd that the link was a little tough to find and that nobody posted the link in this thread
Firefox does seem faster, and I'm happy to have one less window in Expose
Well, I rarely post those type of links because generally the people who aren't willing to work at finding it usually shouldn't be dealing with software in that state of being anyway. Giving those people easy access is opening up the forum to a lot of extra, unncessary whining. Oops, did I say that?
doesn't seem any different to me, and yes, i downloaded the real rc2. it's barely faster and my cute menus extension doesn't work, along with everything except gmail notifier and image zoom. single window doesn't freakin work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is there a way to go back?

Anyone see why I don't post links to beta software now?
The final product should be ready shortly but those plug-in writers need to fix their software to work with the proper interface. They probably had to write workarounds to get everything to work with the broken interface tha Firefox has been using all this time.

Hmm... I guess I should forget about posting a link to the nightly builds then?
I'm waiting for FireFox to take on a more mac-like appearance.
I'm content with Safari, but it does display some pages strangely, and I've had nothing but perfect page displays in FF.

using this for a day i've noticed a few other improvements, i haven't gone looking for them though.
links from other applications now have the option to open in tabs and not new windows (or was that there all the time and i just overlooked it?), also using the find function if the words are not found the text box turns red which is kind of nice.
