Er ist da - Download des neuen Firefox 2.0 Beta 2!
Mozilla Firefox "Bon Echo" 2.0 Beta 2
Nun ist es endlich soweit, nach etlichen Falschmeldungen in schlecht oder unzureichend unterrichteten Foren kommt er nun, der Firefox 2.0 Beta 2. Natürlich nur eine "Testversion", aber mit massig Änderungen.
Die Final wird schon lange erwartet...grrr...
Er schützt nun vor Viren, PopUps und Spyware. Hat ein paar neue Features, einen Phishing-Schutz und ist nicht mehr ganz so ressourcenhungrig, sagt man...
Hier gibt es die Bon Echo Release Candidates
Bitte beachtet aber, dass dies keine Version für den Endverbraucher ist, sondern eben eine Testversion!
