Download Firefox 2

Note that Firefox 2.0.0.x maintenance is slated to end in mid-December, 2008. Version 2.0.0.19 is slated for release on December 16, 2008.

My copy of Firefox 2.0.0.17 was updated to 2.0.0.18 using the incremental update download with no obvious problems.

[Edited to add list of security fixes.]

I could not get the incremental update. I had to download the entire program, but nothing special after that.

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081031 SeaMonkey/1.1.13

BTW, is that a reson you to prefer(?) SeaMonkey/1.1.13, in fact?
