Mozilla officially released Firefox 2 this morning at 1am. Some of the new features include:
- Search Suggestions – This was something I was badly missing from Safari after installing David Wantanabe’s excellent, Inquisitor plugin. You can now see instant search suggestions directly from the Firefox search box!
- Tab Scrolling – There are now two arrows either side of the tabs when you have hundreds of them open. Tidies things up a lot.
- Session Resume – When you close Firefox, and then re-open it, it restores everything as it was. Even text in text boxes! I’ve not tried it yet and am a little scared to with this post in WordPress…
- Spell Checking – I’d still love to have the native Mac OS X spell checker in Firefox, but I don’t think that is going to happen any time soon. However, the one now included in Firefox is great. Does the job.
- Individual Tab Close Buttons – Now need for TabX plugin anymore.
Bravo to the Firefox team! Worth the wait.
