Just installed it, I like it, looks a bit different, but the main thing I have noticed, is that it doesn't use 80000kb of ram like FF1 did. Heh! And a few red dots have appeared in this post already! Hurray for firefox!

Old news, I've been using SpellBound (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=351130) for quite a while.

I'm just going to wait for the release, nothing I urgently want.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2006-07-10-20-firefox2.0b1/

I'm not sure if that's the newest build but it should be. There's one newer folder in the directory, so I dunno.

Edit: Here's the newer one, seems to just be international versions:

How do you know a forum poster uses Firefox?Are you asking me? I don't, I was laughing at how you spelled "Google Speelchecer." I thought you did that on purpose.

I was hoping I wouldn't lose faster fox or my por...er browser eraser.

I lost both.

I'm sure they'll bring them back up to date.

Well that's why Firefox beta isn't ment for the average user.

It's more that it's too new. The plugins (though they say a lot of them should work) need time to catch up to the new version.

Ahh I see, it's for the brainy peeps..thanks for the heads up. I must have missed that in the download notes.

BTW did you figure out how to use the spell checker in the Beta 2 browser yet?
