Get it the now if you want - Remember peeps - this is BETA!

According to www.TomsHardware.com

It also has a built in spell checker apparently.

Might be worth a look after the beta stage, if only for the speel chucker :D

For now though, I'm converted to Opera from FF 1.5

Just trying it now.

The spell checker is working, sort of. It works, but I cannot add a new dictionary...I am stuck with the US dictionary at the moment. It tells you to use the Thunderbird versions, but that doesn't work either.

You now have a choice of Feed Readers. It checks for anti-phishing sites.

Extensions and themes are now called Add Ons.

Seems okay up to now. Though the dictionary seems a bit limited...see the attachment ;)

Just make sure that you have the nightly tester tools extension, to make your extensions compatible.

Thanks Mal :tu:

I have the Tab Mix Plus extension. That doesn't work properly now. The new feature of having the close button on the tab itself, this was what TMP did and now TMP is overriding the inbuilt and won't work. Just a warning.

As I said, I'll wait until it's out of beta, and then its gonna have to go some to beat opera IMHO.

Re: Firefox 2 Beta 1 Available
 

Easily sorted...I just went back to using tabbrowser preferences, which didn't have the option of close buttons. ;)

I like Opera, it's better than I.E., but I prefer FF...but lets not turn this into a FF v Opera thread...this is about the beta release. ;)

It does appear to faster, for me anyway, than 1.5.

Re: Firefox 2 Beta 1 Available
 

Anything to increase speeds good by me, are the 'tweaks' in-built, as in 1.5 ? as in max connections etc etc

Re: Firefox 2 Beta 1 Available
 

I just tweak it manually, but i do think this version is slower.

Re: Firefox 2 Beta 1 Available
 

:erm: the UK english version is here... (RC3 too I might add)

Re: Firefox 2 Beta 1 Available
 

I wonder if that means it comes with the correct dictionary? Getting another dictionary to work with Firefox Beta involves moving the dictionary files:

The advice in that thread worked for me :)

Thanks

Looks pretty good to me, seems quite stable, and some pretty sweet technological advances for Developers.

I await the final release I just got 1.5 to work with the extensions I like and getting it refined to using minimal resources.
