Firefox 2.0 B1 installed

12 Jul, 2006  software

I just got Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 installed, no problems during the install, as usual. I can’t recall the last time I had any issues installing Firefox, its really seamless. This also marks the first version of Firefox that I’m not going to install a theme for. The default look has been improved with some slight tweaks. The effects are a little nicer, some nicer shadowing, etc. all minor things but they come together really nicely.

The downside is that none of my extensions survived the upgrade, probably only because they weren’t marked as compatible with future versions, I’m sure they WILL work as soon as they are tagged that way by the publishers.

You can download the Beta here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/

UPDATE: Ok, the built-in spell checker is awesome. It underlines the misspelled words in red, right click on the word to see the suggested spellings, sweet. You can load custom dictionaries too, so other languages are supported.
