If you use a Mac, don't upgrade to Firefox 2.0.0.4 !
It removes the mouse hold-down option (what passes for
right-click with macs) I spent an hour trying to find out
why and no one knows. I have a question up on the forum
at Mozilla...
More to follow.
ggggGGGRRRRR
Steeenking computers!

Boy, you are overstating this a bit...
First of all, no wireless mice allowed in my studio. None.
No wireless, means no communication problems and no
battery failures.
Second, I don't know when the Mighty Mouse started shipping
but millions of Macs shipped without it, and they took a long time
to add this feature.

You don't have to get a wireless mighty mouse, you can get a wired one if
you want.
Yes it's true that Apple shipped a one button mouse for years, even mac users
thought it was dumb. Apple wanted to keep it simple for new users. Mac
users have been able to use multi button devices for about 15 years or so.
I believe the mighty mouse has been shipping for a few years now.
I think it is vary unfortunate that there is so much disinformation about
Apple and Apple products. Apple products are great and I encourage all people
to become educated about Apple products.
Just trying to educate a bit.

I've used Macs extensively for a decade. But not for the past year or
so. Glad to hear they have started adding buttons.
I like Macs just fine, but I don' respect those idiotic commercials on
TV lately. I guess they are not going after the "creative" crowd any
more, because anyone with a decent IQ would be able to detect a cheap
smear campaign and would probably be turned off by it. I guess that
explains being afraid to scare people off with a complicated mouse too.
