    I've been using Firefox 1.5 for months and now the new version, Firefox 2, has came out.

    I just want to know whether it is worth to upgrade to Firefox 2?

    Of course it's worth updating - it's FREE isn't it?! With your support we can wipe out the dominance of Internet Explorer. Together we can topple Microsoft (well, it's a nice thought anyway).

    FF2 has been out for time now. To me it seems the same. :) Upgrade. If you don't like you can always just downgrade.

    It has some new stuff built-in that previously required extensions: Session Saver, Undo Close Tab and Auto-suggestion search, and tabbed browser is somewhat improved.
    I would install it now, all extensions are probably updated for it now.

    Firefox2 is more improved than a previous 1.7
    The one i like is restore toption in that
    If firefox closes due to any crash or because of Pc problem
    it will restore the sites we were surfing before.

    FF2 is faster, has check speller and saving sessions - very useful changes!
    There is no problem with upgrade. Do it now :)

    I'd definately upgrade. I doubt there will be much support for any extensions in 1.5 any more.

    The restoring of sessions if you crash is also a life saver!

    Yeah, I haven't had any problems with it yet. I like it so much better than IE7

    I agree with bestmiler, upgrade and stay away from IE...its now that IE is trying to look like firefox instead of the other way around.

    It took me a while to upgrade, but I finally did -- mainly because I was waiting for my plugins to be ported over to the new version of Firefox.

    Firefox2 is amazing and I highly recommend it.
