"it looks good for Firefox 2 to be released this coming Tuesday (October 24th). Now I am sure many folks are wondering ‘How do I upgrade to Firefox 2?’ Well, like Microsoft and IE7, the auto-update won’t be until sometime in November or may be even December.
Now, if you want it as soon as it comes out, you can download it directly from the Mozilla Firefox Page - mozilla.com or getfirefox.com (note: this will always link to the most current released version of Firefox). I would recommend you do a couple things you should do to be safe and make the upgrade easier. First, just as a precaution back-up your profile (nothing should go wrong, but just in case, you won’t lose everything). Second, AFTER you have downloaded Firefox 2, uninstall Firefox 1.5 (don’t worry your profile is stored else where so you will still have all your bookmarks, saved preferences, extensions and themes). Note: uninstalling the prior version of Firefox is not mandatory, but will make things simpler.
For those who want to wait until Mozilla offers you an auto-upgrade to Firefox 2, you will need to wait until you upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.8 (due out sometime in November) first. You can not go directly from Firefox 1.5.0.7 to Firefox 2 via auto-update. The details as to how this will happen are still a little fuzzy, but my understanding is Firefox 1.5.0.8 will offer an upgrade to Firefox 2 when the 2.0.0.1 build is released (November or December)."
ayun. ok firefox fanboys and fangirls?
im using it now. its great. it is faster and yeah i think they fixed that so-called memory leak. i am annoyed at the spell checker though. :p just disable it.
and if you are looking for your extensions and themes, it is all now bundled under "Add-ons". k? k.
and from the release notes : http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/
Installing Firefox 2
Please note that installing Firefox 2 will overwrite your existing installation of Firefox. You won't lose any of your bookmarks or browsing history, but some of your extensions and other add-ons might not work until updates for them are made available.
Removing Firefox 2
You can remove Firefox 2 through the Control Panel in the Start Menu on Windows, by removing the Firefox application on OS X, or by removing the firefox folder on Linux.
Removing Firefox 2 won't remove your bookmarks, web browsing history, extensions or other add-ons. This data is stored in your profile folder, which is located in one of the following locations depending on your operating system:
Windows 2000, XP Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox Windows NT WINNT\Profiles\\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox Windows 98, ME Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox Mac OS X ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox Linux and Unix systems ~/.mozilla/firefox
Any version of Firefox that you install after removing Firefox 2 will continue to use the data from this profile folder.

and dont be an ass and delete your profile folder at the location in your pc/mac mentioned above. :p now that will be the time that you will lose everything and you now go crazy and cry.
