Whats new on Firefox 2!
October 26, 2006 – 6:29 amI was checking the Release Notes of Firefox 2 and here are some of the cool new features of this next generation browser.
Tabbed browsing :
By Default, all new links will be opened in a ‘New Tab’ and not in a ‘New Window’
Every Tab gets an individual Close Button
When ‘Power Users’ open up ‘n’ number of Tabs, buttons with forward and backward arrows will appear to help them NAVIGATE between these Tabs.
Search :
The new Search Suggestions feature dynamically updates a drop-down list of suggested search terms as users enter text into the search bar for Google, Yahoo! or Answers.com search engines.
Spell Check Inline spell checking in Firefox 2 automatically checks for spelling errors and suggests corrections as users interact with Web sites, bringing a common desktop feature to the Web.
Customization :
With thousands of add-ons that enhance the browser’s functionality and features, Firefox lets users personalize their Web browsers to fit their interests and style.

Infact these features already there in’Tab mix plus options’ extension. And the extension is much more extensible than new features of 2.0.
Was expecting some kind of technical review, rendering pit-falls, ie7 v/s ff2, etc…

Help me please…
I just installed Firefox 2.0, and all of a sudden, my username/password isn't being inserted in the signon window (it always was before). I tried the usual suspects–I did not mistakenly tell FF not to remember the password for this site; and I also tried the remember password bookmarklet, but all to no avail–FF will not ask me to remember this password. What do I need to do to get around this?
