firefox-2.0.0.7.pet
Is it best to upgrade to this or to the latest version?
Wondered what the advantages or disadvantages of this version were compared to the latest firefox or the earlier 1.5.0.3 one. Security? Resource usage? Facility?
I'm currently using 1.5.0.3 because I system isn't very powerful and I'm assuming the old Firefox consumes less-resources. 1.5.0.3 works fine so far.

so useful
That was very useful information, thanks. Could say much the same about almost everything on the forum really. I'll keep that in mind... It is very easy to make "smart comments" isn't it; kind of sad in terms of wit though.alienjeff wrote:Firefox 2.0.0.7 release notes and system requirements.

But yes, I recognise now that 2.0.0.7 is indeed the latest one. I was a bit busy from working on other things for puppy linux, and rather over-tired.
Thankyou for the dotpet Todd, that will be very useful.
Thanks
This version seems to run good on 2.17.1, and loads far faster than seamonkey.
