    There's virtually no difference between 2.0 and 1.5 because everything 2.0 brings to the table, 1.5 supported with extensions. Some of you mentioned "session restore." I believe that was one of the features of the Tab Mix Plus extension. The X on the individual tabs were also part of Tab Mix Plus.

    Some miscellaneous extensions like Disable Download Targets aren't compatible with 2.0, but in this specific case it seems like 2.0 itself has that feature built in, minus the customizeability.

    I'm not bashing on 2.0, I'm just saying it's not as big of a change as I had expected. I just went from IE6 to IE7 and that was one hell of an overhaul.

    Does anyone know how to change the scroll line amount in Firefox?

    I just switched over, and since I use my laptop mostly, I'm accustomed to using the arrow keys to scroll up and down. Firefox scrolls really slowly though, I'm assuming the line amount is set to about 1, whereas I had it on a higher number in IE. How do I change this setting?

    you might be looking for the scrolling settings under preferences->advanced->general->browsing. I've found that using smooth scrolling often causes major slowdown (and generally annoys the shit outta me). Smooth scrolling overrides windows scroll settings, and is generally unfriendly.

    If turning smooth scrolling off doesn't help, go to about:config and search for "scroll" and you might find something to tweak there (but a lot of those are for horizontal scroll, so maybe not).

    Smooth scrolling makes me feel nauseous (heh, I only spelled that correctly with the spell checker). I can't stand it either.

    I tried messing with the mousewheel:withnokey options, and a few others, but no matter what I changed it to, there was no visible difference in my scrolling. None of them seemed to have any effect.

    What exactly does smooth scrolling do? I just enabled it and didn't see a notable difference so I unchecked it.

    Without smooth scrolling, the screen simply changes to the "destination" immediately upon pressing the arrow key or moving the mouse wheel. The page doesn't actually "move."

    With smooth scrolling, the page "moves" to the destination, thus a smoother transition. However, it dramatically slows down scrolling speed and most people don't like it.

    I'm loving the new FF 2.0. A lot of people here are saying that they've just incorporated things that were extentions, but if there's less need for extentions there'll (generally) be fewer slow downs.

    Go Mozilla! Now how about a new version of Seamonkey?
