Firefox 2 Beta 1 now available

Now you can download Firefox 2 Beta 1 from Mozilla’s FTP Site. I installed it this evening, but I didn’t completely switch over to Firefox 2 because some extensions don’t like Firefox 2.

Whats New ?

  • Spell Checking: Comes in handy for those who want to comment on other blogs without making typo errors (like me!), The Funniest part is that the term “firefox” is not in its dictionary. (These days everyone is trying to add spellchecker to their app)
  • Session Restore: You no more need Crash Recovery extension because its embedded in Firefox 2.
  • Addons Manager: Extensions and Themes have been merged into one single window called “Addons” (See Screenshot)
  • Sherlock And OpenSearch Engines Support
  • New Search Plugin Manager
