Release candidate one is now available for Firefox 2. I have been running it exclusively for a couple of days with no problems. It's easy to back out if you have problems. Give it a try. http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/ New . . .

Just installed. Any thoughts on why my address bar is really tall and how I can fix it? I can't seem to be able to post, but my address bar is HUGE. All the text is the regular size, just with dead space above and below. Thoughts?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TonyPSchaefer @ Sep 29 2006, 01:20 PM) [snapback]325643[/snapback]</div> I installed it on both my Linux machine & WinXP here at work and I don't see the problem you're having. What O/S are you using? Are you using any kind of large-iconed theme? Are you using small icons? Any way you can provide a screenshot? Am I asking too many questions?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(TonyPSchaefer @ Sep 29 2006, 10:20 AM) [snapback]325643[/snapback]</div> Try right clicking just above that huge area, but still within the gray. Select customize. Now click and drag that huge box into the folder. Select the “location†box and drag it to the area you wish it to be located. If that doesn't work, I'd try reloading the program. It should write over the top of itself. Your bookmarks and other personal items are in a safe location. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling. Second to lastly . . . you could post you problem at http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=20070 *People much more knowledgeable than me regarding Firefox issues. Lastly . . . revert back to FF 1.X until 2.0 is released. . . . but then that's me. Your pain threshold may vary.

This evening or sometime over the weekend, I'll put the picture online and link to it. I can't get into my webspace from work. I tried the customize, tried toggling settings. Turned the bar off and on again. My tolerance threashhold is pretty high. For me, a bad Firefox day is better than a good IE day.
