Damn, you are one step ahead of me, I was just going to make this thread.

I love the new spell checker, and I swore TWC loaded a little faster.

Is firefox 2 really going to change my life? I'm quite happy with Mozilla firefox1.5

**Sétanta** · October 24, 2006, 05:50 PM

I'm quite happy with IE. Hmmm, would it be considered heresy to download firefox here?

No, it would not be considered heresy at all to DL FF here, it is just sooo much better than IE! I love the spell checker, of which I graciously checked your post with and removed a grand total of 2 spelling errors

But they didnt put firefox in thier dictionary. :tooth:

........whats firefox 2.0 ?

**Erik** · October 24, 2006, 07:07 PM

OMG 2.0 is out?
Will try it now.

edit:
OMG! I really love some of the new features, like:

Built-in phishing protection: Phishing Protection warns users when they encounter suspected Web forgeries, and offers to return the user to their home page. Phishing Protection is turned on by default, and works by checking sites against either a local or online list of known phishing sites. This list is automatically downloaded and regularly updated when the Phishing Protection feature is enabled.

Sounds like a great idea.
Phishing is a very dangerous, good they are doing something to protect it's users from it.
My mom does a lot of internet banking, so this is especially great for her.

Enhanced search capabilities: Search term suggestions will now appear as users type in the integrated search box when using the Google, Yahoo! or Answers.com search engines. A new search engine manager makes it easier to add, remove and re-order search engines, and users will be alerted when Firefox encounters a website that offers new search engines that the user may wish to install.

nice.

Improved tabbed browsing: By default, Firefox will open links in new tabs instead of new windows, and each tab will now have a close tab button. Power users who open more tabs than can fit in a single window will see arrows on the left and right side of the tab strip that let them scroll back and forth between their tabs. The History menu will keep a list of recently closed tabs, and a shortcut lets users quickly re-open an accidentally closed tab.

Also nice.
But I really have to force myself to use tabs more often. (I've developed a bad habit of opening a lot of different windows and using the windows task bar instead)

Inline spell checking: A new built-in spell checker enables users to quickly check the spelling of text entered into Web forms (like this one) without having to use a separate application.

Excellent!
I can already see it's effect on this very post.

Most other improvements listed here: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/f.../releasenotes/
sound good too.
Si I'm very happy with this release.

Ive been using it for a while now, it was good to see i could download it without the google toolbar - that was getting a bit annoying for a while.

The spell check feature is very useful for forums indeed, but other than that i haven't seen many of the new features in action on a conscious level..

**alman9898** · October 24, 2006, 09:47 PM

the only thing I don't like is the new default layout, I liked the plain one better

**Zuwxiv** · October 24, 2006, 10:22 PM

Nice! Even improved performance with Macs! Spell check as I type, this is great. I might actually ditch Safari for my Mac, although for my PC, Firefox 2 is the choice.
