Disclaimer: This is not a "use Firefox instead of IE" post.

Today at work, I opened Firefox to pull up one of our hardware manuals only to find a pop up box suggesting I upgrade Firefox to 1.5.something. I was about to do so, but instead decided to pull up the Firefox download page to find that Firefox 2 is out! Once again, where have I been? Version 2.0 was released on October 24, 2006.

Instead of reiterating the release notes, I'll share a list of features that I really like - both new
(f)Features that have been implemented between 1.5.something and 2.0.0.4
and old:
  • Built in spell-check (New) - This is especially useful for me. My spelling sucks, and I usually keep Dictionary.com in a tab whenever I'm posting a blog entry.
  • Live bookmarks - It wasn't until recently when I jumped on the RSS bandwagon. Nuf said - I like to use Live Bookmarks.
  • Bookmarks Toolbar Search - handy!
  • Tabs have a "Close me" button (New) - One click instead of the ol' right-click/close combo! Very web 2.0-ish.
