Firefox 2 Out Now!
faster, more secure, and fully customizable to your online life - moz
I managed to grab a copy of Firefox 2 earlier in the week so I’ve had a good chance to play around with it and I’m very impressed. From the outset it doesn’t look dramatically different. There’s a slightly different skin, but everything is still in its place and works very similarly but with a few subtle differences.
In version 1 you couldn’t close tabs without first activating them then clicking the close button in the top right of the tab panel, in version 2 each tab has been given it’s own close button. Also another annoyance in version 1 was how tabs just seemed to disappear when they tab panel exceeded the browser window. Tabs became inaccessible until you closed other tabs, in version 2 a scrollable panel has been introduced so that you can scroll backwards and forwards through your tabs.
Another nifty addition is the ability to resume previously tabbed browser sessions, so you can pick up where you left off. And then there’s the inline Spell Checker! If your a typo king like me you’ll find this little feature simply brilliant - misspell a word in a form and the Spell Checker will underline it in red, where upon you can simply right click and make the correction.
Anyway there are a lot more great additions to Firefox 2. Let us know what you think
