I love what you guys are doing, Nirvana 2 is really growing on me. Problem is, I work at a city, and the IT department won't let me download the chrome frame for Internet Explorer, or the beta version of Firefox 4.0. So I have no way to access Nirvana 2 for the 12 hours I'm at work now. I may have to move back to the old Nirvana, but I have waited too long, I like version 2.0 too much, even in it's uncompleted state. I know you have bigger fish to fry, just my 2 cents. I haven't given up, I have a buddy in IT that I may be able to coax into helping me out.

    Another option would be to get a version of chrome or safari that can be run from a USB Flash drive. I am in the same situation and this works quite well as a solution.

    Glen, Firefox 3.6 seems to work well with N 2.0. I had to reset the off-line storage option after migration (could log in, but my data did not show up) and again after a new build came out, but other than that it is running fine for me. The reset procedure:

    1. Remove app.nirvanahq.com from the list of applications that are allowed to store offline data in Tools>Options>Advanced in Firefox
    2. Log in again
    3. Allow app.nirvanahq again in the message bar that pops-up in Firefox

    Thanks! I tried that, but could still not get it to log in. Maybe it
    has something to do with running Firefox on a PC? Oh well, it was
    worth a try, and I really appreciate you taking the time to suggest it.

    I am also using it on a PC at work (Windows XP, FF3.6.12) and it works. I did not realize that you couldn't log in at all. Then it is probably a different issue, maybe something to do with authentication? I could log in, but did not see my data and the above reset procedure fixed it.

    Yeah the login comes up, and I can 'press' the login button, but
    nothing happens. I work for a city with a huge network, so they have
    a lot going on, and they aren't much interested in devoting resources
    to solving my little problem. I'll probably just have to wait until
    Firefox upgrades to 4.0. I tried it on 3.6 at work, but there was
    some other issue with that, I forget what now. Thanks for your
    suggestions.
