Firefox 2 Beta

Written on July 18, 2006 by Todd Baur and 5 people have commented

Mozilla has released a beta of Firefox 2, and here I am writing this post from it. Some of the features include phishing protection, inline spell checking, Javascript 1.7 support, and some very fast rendering we’ve come to love Firefox for. Download and play with it here if you’re feeling adventurous.

    It seems faster, which is nice. I’m finding a few things that are annoying, including the fact that the Find capability has lost the Find Previous/Find Next/etc buttons.

    I am using Firefox Beta 2 on my Power Mac at home with no problems. Ever since I installed it on my Dell laptop, however, I have had issues with it not wanting to open a lot of the time. I have to open the Task Manager, kill the firefox.exe process and hope that it opens the next time.
