A new version of Firefox has been released into the wild. Bringing it up to 2.0.0.5, this latest version sees a big stack of security and reliability fixes. Browse like a champion and download your copy locally from AusGamers.

Mine updated itself yesterday. For some reason sometimes it will auto update and other times I have to go out of my way and waste precious time doing it myself.

its always downloaded automatically for me. just have to restart firefox when it does to install

One of my machines updated automatically, another one, on which firefox crashes often for some reason, isn't auto updating. I'm hoping some of the fixes actually fix the crashes I'm experiencing on that box.

The fix you seek is here

IE 4lyfe.. teehee

turns out it was dodgy leaky extensions making ff crash on me =/

Anyone know if the option to close the active tab from the far right menu has been reintroduced? They changed it after version 1.5.0.12

i learnt today, that rebooting after a firefox upgrade is importnat else you get xml not formatted errors

type in about:config in url bar. Then change browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3.

I do this everytime, within 3 seconds of launching a fresh install of Firefox.

Not sure what the point of changing the default setting was. You have tabs to save a bit of taskbar real-estate, and then they go in and duplicate close-buttons that now use up your tab real-estate.

browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3.

drbroom, you are now officially uber!

Awesome!!!

mine automagically updated and then gave me some bollocks about java not being compatible?

harden the f*** up kimbo
