Firefox 2 Due Tuesday
Firefox 2 is due tomorrow (October 24). But with all the hub-bub surrounding IE7, who’s had time to pay attention to FF2? Granted, the changes and new features aren’t quite nearly as dramatic as IE7’s; but, then again, Firefox isn’t playing catch up. From the Firefox 2 release notes:
- updated interface
- built-in phishing protection
- enhanced search
- improved tabbed browsing
- browsing sessions and persistent storage
- improved web feeds
- inline spell checking
- live bookmark titles
- improved add-ons (themes and extensions) manager
- JavaScript 1.7
- SVG text
Oh, and if you’re not impressed with the new stuff, add your two cents to the Firefox version 3 feature list brainstorm.
