Firefox 2.0 leaked thanks to digg

As I blogged the other day, Firefox was supposed to release the 2.0 version tomorrow, however thanks to digg thousands of users downloaded it today.

I installed it as well and nothing much changes; they added a few features previously provided by extensions, which by the way are called add-on now. A few extensions do not work, such as Fasterfox, LiveHttpHeaders, Tab Mix Plus, Roboform, just to name a few. Thus if you're a developer that depends on those, do not upgrade yet. Web Developer, Firebug, and a few dozens that I have installed work perfectly.

I got livehttpheaders working by fiddling the em:maxVersion entries in the install.rdf file that lives in the profile directory.

works fine for me now.

I thought Tab Mix Plus functionality was rolled into FF2.0...?

John, all the tab functionality rolled into FF2, but the session saver did not.

Ah, "Tab Mix Plus" should be called "Session Saver Plus", got it.... ;-)

I know, it was part of the built-in functionality... I liked the options to sort tabs, define events, focus, restores, and the session saving tools... they'll probably add that too shortly.
