Clouddark Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Does anybody know where I can get a download of Firefox 2, it seems every site that WOULD have it replaced it with Firefox 3, and I just dislike Firefox 3 with great intensity.

antiaircraft Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sad to hear that Firefox 3 disappointed you. :( Anyway, you can grab the most recent Firefox 2 build directly from the FTP servers at ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...%202.0.0.14.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouddark Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 It's just that it made all flash/java games on it x2 the framerate, really screwing me up. And thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 You're welcome (as a Firefox developer I know all the links anyway :P ). The bug you mentioned is actually a performance issue with the latest version of Adobe Flash player (which ended up more pronounced in FF3). Adobe has a bug filed on it and are working on the problem. Very, very slowly. Seriously, it's about 100 times worse here on Linux. *glares at Adobe* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouddark Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well tell me when it's fixed, because I'll switch right back. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Will do. *pulls out long poking stick and starts prodding the Adobe developers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUnknown Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Adobe, you say? Would that be why several games suddenly refuse to load and Adver-Video videos either stop loading mid-way or load slower than a snail moves for me? :O Also, how do you get that link to FF2 work? Now a lot of the games aren't working... -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Neopets Flash games and Adver-Video all rely on Adobe Flash player, so the performance bug in Flash player causes them all to mess up. Adobe should (hopefully) get this resolved soon. What problem do you have exactly with the link to FF2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUnknown Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Well, it either: 1) Doesn't load 2) Goes to a page saying "Go to previous level" (or something like that) 3) Says failed to establish connection 4) If I go "Save link as", it doesn't save.

Clouddark Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/4038/ Try that, it's another link a guy gave me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The official page for downloading Firefox 2 is up. :yes: Go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whacker Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I -really- want an option to get rid of that annoying toolbar and go back to the basic one. I've noticed FF33 is quite a bit faster so I'd rather not go back to FF2, and it fixed the problem I was having with running coconut shy.

Guest Levy Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Old applications. If you guys can't find a working version of FF2, you can find old versions of FF here: http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.htm I used that to get 1.5 back when my RAM was messed up.

antiaircraft Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 *Poke* Use our pretty official Mozilla page, which we somehow forgot to link to the rest of the site. :P @Whacker101: Try the 'oldbar' extension here. It does pretty much what you want, and retains a decent amount of functionality as well. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I would still use oldapps. I love this site. I got my version of Windows Media Player from them. WMP 10 forever! I despise WMP 11. Anyway, when in doubt, I would just search Google. Many websites, like Oldapps, hold onto releases for occasions like new version, which are always known for their bugs. If you find what you are looking for then don't let me keep talking. PS: Shouldn't this be in the "Everything Computers: Help and Programming" forum?

Guest Levy Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I can't stand IE. I've been a Firefox nut for so long. It is the only thing that really works good on this PC. Firefox 2, has it's bugs and the fact that it ran away with my memory at times. But I am now disappointed that some of my plugins won't work in Firefox 3. But, it is only a matter of time before Firefox 3 is perfect. (BTW, did it break the download record?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is very compatible when it first comes out. (I think Vista has thoroughly shown us this) It did indeed, with more than 8 million downloads. ^_^ 8 Million? Woww... That's a lot, I don't even think that many people pledged... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think Vista has thoroughly shown us this) Actually, very few add-ons are broken with Firefox updates - we specifically try not to change the APIs too much. :) It's just that some plugin authors forget to update the compatibility data for their extensions, but this is normally corrected within a few days.
