Being the early adopter that I am, I downloaded Bon Echo and began using it as my main browser. Bon Echo is the code name for the Firefox 2 Alpha version.

Bon echo had it's shortcomings, but that is to be expected with an alpha release. Therefore, I was naturally excited when Bon Echo graduated yesterday to full-fleged Firefox 2 beta. I was excited to see the improvements they had made because overall Bon echo is the fastest browser available for OS X.

After using Firefox 2 beta for about 2 minutes I have to say it is right crap. It has successfully started 1 out of about 10 launches, and even only stayed un-frozen for less than a minute. The same bugs that drove me nuts in bon echo are no ten times worse.

I thought things were supposed to get progressively better as it got closer to an official release, not worse!
