Good idea? Problems? Anyone? 
Memory leak is down 25% in my experience. I was about to switch back to IE because of the sick amount of memory leak but it almost seems tolerable now. I am an open window/tab abuser so YMMV.
No other problems than the usual disrespect from IEcentric sites.
I switched. I like it - works great for me.
I upgraded as soon as it was released. No problems so far.
Same here. Never noticed any memory leak problems, use it on three different machines and four different OS’s.
I keep getting the prompt to upgrade… My question: The add-ons i already have, if I upgrade am I going to have to go find all those again?
This seems to be mainly soliciting opinions, so it’s off to IMHO.

There were one or two that I had to re-download. Adobe Acrobat Reader, I think. The others were right where I left them. Otherwise, it’s a dream.
If it crashes on you, the next time you start it, it offers to restore your previous session. Love it.
Yes
How much does this cost?
It’s free and fantastic.
This sounds great till you find that it offers to restore your previous session every time you load the browser even when it didn’t crash.
I’m thinking of going back to 1.x coz it’s just so annoying. Maybe I’ll try a reformat first.
I’ve never had that happen and have been using 2 since it came out.
It has never crashed on me but when I shut the Linux machine down without bothering to close anything else, it asks on reopening.
Otherwise, not.
I’ve just got round to upgrading to 2.0, prompted by this thread. A little tip - if you hate the fact that they’ve move the Close Tab button to the tab itself, you can go back to the way it was in 1.x by going to about:config and setting browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3.
Seems like they just ignored basic UI principles. Button in same place all the time = good. Button that moves around = bad. Firefox guys, if you’re going to copy features from other browsers, copy the good ones, eh?
Now to work out how to re-enable shrink-to-fit tabs…
BTW, I didn’t have to upgrade the one extension I use (Flash block). It works fine in 2.0, and I’m nit running the latest version.
Personally, I prefer the close button on the tab, so I don’t think it’s an issue of principle. Since others prefer it another way, kudos to Mozilla for offering the option.
I’m not sure which “other browsers” you’re talking about. Firefox inherited tabbed browsing from the late-model Netscape browsers which are its progenitors.
It seems to me that they are aping Opera and possibly IE7 by having the close button on every tab. My objection to it is that I knew where the old Close Tab button was without even looking. Now, in the default configuration, you have to look to see where the tab header is. So it’s harder to find the button. Plus, the old button was at the edge of the screen. Fitt’s laws, and all that.
Crashes all the time for me. Search for it, it’s quite a widespread problem.
Even though I’ve told FF2 that I want it to open links in new windows, it opens my links in new tabs, and I hate tabs. Yes, I know that I’m a neandertal about this, but I prefer to have windows instead of tabs.
Wow, I thought I was the only one. 
I say that I’ve had tabbed browsing since about 1992… it’s called the taskbar. 
Usram’s last line knocked a bit of clarity into my brain. I guess which add-ons transfer to FF2 depend on which version the add-on was written for. Many only work in older versions and wouldn’t transfer. Make sense?
