Upgraded To Firefox 2.0 -- Minimal Effort Required

I attempted to upgrade to Firefox 2.0 when it first came out a couple of weeks ago, however at that time the majority of the extensions I use were incompatible, and no updates were available.  Fast forward to now, and the majority of my extensions do indeed play nice with 2.0...ones that did not have either been integrated into 2.0, or were worth just getting rid of entirely.  I won't list my catalog of "must have" extensions however I did stumble across a new one that I absolutely love so far though: Cooliris Preview.  Very handy, and the built in subsearch is a nice touch.

Some of the memory leaks associated with the 1.x branch of FF appear to have been remedied, I've been sitting at < 50 megs all the times I've checked...this was a huge issue.  So overall quite impressed...keep up the great work guys!

When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
