I'm sure there will be bugs with the new release so I'm waiting for the first security/bugfix update on 2.0 before downloading.
FYI, the Thunderbird email client was also updated to 1.5.0.8. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
Yep, got that notice and took care of it. Looking more closely at the info with the security notice, it said that the vulnerabilities in Firefox 1.5 don't exist in Firefox 2.0, so no need to update. As long as 1.5 remains supported, I'm probably wait for a while yet to go to 2.0.
I've been on 2.0 since the final RC release, and I think it's just a great update. The memory leaks on my machine have decreased, and the built-in spell checker is quite handy.
