domino Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I tested and it runs. I just can' trade off the new features over the plug-ins I need to be productive with Ff. UNO theme for Ff 1.5 isn't supported yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Thanks Domino - I saw that it was out but haven't tried it yet. Firefox Extensions + Camino Look and Feel = Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domino Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 I just switched over to Ff 2b2 in winXP/vista, Linux, and OS X. I used the nightly-1.1 extension to get most of my 1.5 extensions and themes working in Linux and Windows. Under OS X, all of the themes and extensions worked without forcing them to! However, I elected to disable some older extensions in favor of the beta's own extensions. I just love the spell check feature. Google won't be looking up and caching words for me anymore.
