That's based on Gecko 1.8 (which branched off the main development trunk in August 2005). It's had a number of security fixes, of course. > Where/how does one get something current? Mozilla.com points > me to 2.0.0.6 every which way I try. Yeah, well. It's the user-facing thing, so it points to the stable release version. I suggest http://www.mozilla.org/ and looking at "Developer News",which takes you to http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2007/08/03/gran-paradiso-alpha-7-available-for-download/ > According to <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_timeline> Firefox 2 was > rekleased in October 2006. That's correct. Firefox 2 and Firefox 1.5 use basically the same rendering engine (Gecko 1.8), with pretty much identical standards support. Gecko 1.9 has been in development since August 2005, as I said. -Boris
