Depends on the extensions you use? Mine are, although I don't use nearly as many as a lot of people seem to.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bah. That answer required me to check for each extension, instead of letting me blindly go ahead and update to 2.0.
Come to think of it, Google Browser Sync is the one extension I can't live without. I suppose I could check on that one before doing an upgrade....

Ooh. This feature of Firefox 2.0 looks like it could aid many Buffistas:
As a blogger and web mail user, it breaks my heart to recount how many times I've composed a long post or email message, then accidentally closed the tab or browser and lost all my work. No more! With Firefox 2, set the browser.startup.page key to 3 to restore your browsing session - with form entries intact! - every time you start your browser or undo close tab after a wayward click. Note: By default, Firefox 2 automatically restores your session if your browser crashes - but this does it every time you restart your browser normally. Thanks for the tip, Arun!
No more lost posts!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I downloaded Handbrake thinking I could use it to covert torrented AVIs, etc to iPod format. But it's having none of it. What is the best tool for what I want to do?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Quicktime has an "export to iPod" option built-in, but it may be only the Pro version.

Yeah, it's not in my version of the player.

This is correct. However, converting them directly in iTunes doesn't require Pro.

I can't open the files in iTunes, which is why I ask.

FFMPEGX will convert almost anything to almost anything else -- it's got a fugly interface, but it is free.

Gotcha -- that's what I get for not including the "if it can be played in iTunes..." disclaimer. It may just be a missing codec issue; otherwise, I've heard good things about ffmpegX [link]
Also, iSquint [link] is dead reliable, if you just want the iPod conversion without any of the jillion other things in ffmpegX
