Firefox 2

[JamesM]

I just downloaded FF2 for the Mac.

One change is that when I start typing in a page, I get the 'Quick Find' toolbar at the bottom of the page. This is different from the 'Find' tool bar as it doesn't have any extra options, like letting me press enter to find the next bit of matching text. Is there a way to change this so it opens the full 'Find' toolbar?

Also, I don't have any 'PDF' option set on my file types download thing in preferences. Nonetheless, FF recognises the file type and... opens it with Preview. This is weird, because I've changed the PDF 'open with...' action on Mac OS X so that Acrobat opens them by default. Is there a way to fix this or is this some weird pathological Mac thing? There doesn't seem to be anyway to manually add file types.

Let me head off the most obvious advice: yes, I have downloaded Opera!

It's still a release candidate with some known issues so they may be working on the issue that you are experiencing.

No, it's not the RC. It's the Full Monty, as it were.

I misinterpreted

Your copy of Firefox 2 will be automatically updated to the final release of Firefox 2 when it becomes available.

to mean that 1.5 would upgrade to 2.x when the final release is available (and that doesn't happen right now, at least for me). No worries.

Don't know if what happened, but when I installed 2.0 everything was stripped down and not functioning correctly. All of my bookmarks were gone. Then I installed it again, but to a different folder and all seems to be back to normal. Odd.
