    I love the spellchecker, it's already helped me here in the forums. The rest of the new features, I kinda already had through extensions. It incorporated a lot of the most popular extension features. The search suggestions are kinda nice too.

    Just waiting for Tab Mix Plus to be 2.0 compatible, since I like their tabs management better. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with it.

    My only real complaint is that the "Go" menu was replaced with the more accurate "History" one. Superficial, I know.

    Heh. Just found the Closed Tabs List. Now I've got nothing to worry about until Tab Mix Plus comes out.

    The tabs x's will definitely help. And wow, spell check is great, now I have no excuse to write incorrectly.

    Firefox is #1 !

    What exactly is new about the tabs again? I just got it and so far it's just been the spell check that's a major change. There were tags in the original right? So far all I've seen as a change is that the "x" to exit a tabbed window is now on the tab and not at the top right.


    LaZie made this...a long time ago.

    it's pretty darn good. The "Session Restore" function is pretty good, and the spellchecker will help many people, but I prefer not to rely on that too much...

    I think I'll play around with the new Firefox from time to time, but for now I'm sticking with Opera. Good tabbing system, Session Restore AND Session Saving, and its Mouse Shortcuts totally make the Back and standard interface buttons a thing of the past.

    edit - and for chaos' question

    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.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Just updated to 2.0, and it's nice that all my extensions still work.

    Nice, they made the Session Manager plug in into a standard. Guess that makes me a trend setter since I've been using it for a few months already. I don't like the tab scroll bar so much though, I hope I can disable that somehow.

    EDIT: Upon install I am pleased that most of my extensions that no longer work were the ones that were integrated into the new incarnation (Session Manager, spell check, and SearchPluginHacks). Reducing the size of the buttons is also a plus since I can cram even more on!
