Firefox 2
Firefox 2, the latest from Mozilla has been released. There is a lot happening in the arena of the "browser
wars".
On the surface, not much appears to have changed. Firefox 2 is
skinned slightly differently. The tabs have a glassy look about them.
What's new:
Session Restore: If you computer crashes, Firefox 2 will resume with same tabs opened up for you.
Spell check: If you are typing in a form, Firefox 2
will check your spelling as you go. There are a variety of dictionaries
available. The default is US English, but it is easy to install
Australian English, French, Hungarian or what ever you want.
Security: You get a warning if you get a site with cross domain scripting (a common tactic in phishing sites).
Live Titles: Live Titles are regularly updated
summaries of the most important information on a Web page. As the
information on the page gets updated, so does your Live Title.
These are just some of the features available. On the down side,
some of your Firefox 1 extensions might not work. According to the
reviews we've read, uninstalling Firefox 2 is not a clean process- it
leaves some files behind. It doesn't quite fully support all the
standards supported by the W3C organisation.
In our opinion, we think Firefox 2 is worth the upgrade.
