I haven’t had much time to really put Firefox 2 through the test, but it is installed and running on my Powerbook. The main reason that I really wanted to make this post is the inline spell checking that now comes in this version. This is the thing that I have been wanting for a long time and, I finally have it. Hallelujah!

After painless installation, I checked to see if the speed up tweaks that I posted about a while back held, and they were all there. I only have two extensions that didn’t want to play nice, but they seem to have been built into the new release. All the additional search engines that I have added are there as well.
For the most part, what I’ve been able to read about this release is that the internal overhaul has been more than the external. There is some noticeable changes, but it’s looks and feels the same for the most part. Then again, I’ve been using a skin that made it appear more like Safari, so that might have something to do with it. Oddly enough, that was one of the extensions that didn’t want to work with this version. The other one was a tabbed browsing extension.
Wow. I love this built-in inline spell checking. Oh how I have missed this.
Wow, I haven’t downloaded it yet, but Hodge showed me the blogger options in the toolbar..pretty sweet!
Blogger options as in “Blogger.com”? I’m sure there is some WordPress function somewhere that I could install, but I just haven’t taken the time to look.
All I saw was Blogger.com, but there must be more options.
