Here I can quickly see which tab I need and click directly. Now I have to scroll and scroll and scroll the tabs... disaster! I have now uninstalled Firefox 2 and re-installed Firefox 1.5.08. Lets hope Mozilla will update Firefox 2 with an option of using the old tab system and the new (less handy) tab process.

It seems to be increasingly hard to find where Firefox is going to put its options, as they change about with each update. I think 2.0 is not as stable as 1.5 and it seems to use up more RAM. Stability and compatibility is paramount for any browser and I hope the development team don't forget this. It certainly has the compatibility - it's even better than IE at this stage, IMO. 1.5 was pretty rock solid, too, and I'm hoping it stays that way. Stability (or lack thereof) is the reason I can't use Opera. I still prefer the old icon set of Firefox 1.5 – it was much more distinctive.
