subject: Firefox 2.0.0.8 is optimized for Leopard, fixes bugs, creates others [print this page] Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.8 released Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.8 released . The most important message is that the latest version of your browser is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. But there are security updates for Windows and Linux. Oh yes, and there is a long list of known issues for the Mac version.(There are known issues for Windows, Linux, Unix, too, but most of these problems can be easily repaired).
Here are just a few of these issues:
Problems with some plugins Close other tabs may fail if you have more than 20 open tabs Macromedia Flash content can not play on a Mac with an Intel
Still, because the update contains recommended security patches we believe that the best go ahead and install Firefox 2.0.0.8. That, and your browser probably nag every time it run until done.
Update : Mozilla points out that the update does not create new problems on the Leopard version of Firefox. Rather, Firefox does not perform very well at all in Mac OS X version 10.5 to Firefox 2.0.0.8. This update, but did not resolve all known problems, and some of them still remains.
The latest version of Firefox has some important security updates, but will probably be a bit longer before you will find a release that is fully compatible with Leopard.
