Firefox 2.0 About to Ship - Here is What is Happening
Published October 18th, 2006 in All Categories, Firefox
Mozilla offered up Firefox 2.0 Release Candidate 3 tonight, bringing the official launch of version 2.0
all the closer. Most TechCrunch readers have probably tried previous release candidates but there are a number of things readers may be interested in considering as full scale roll-out of the new version approaches.
2.0 is several months late and doesn’t offer a whole lot of new features compared to version 1.5 - but performance enhancements and a built in spell checker alone make it a good improvement.
There aren’t any new features added since the previous Release Candidate, in fact features have been frozen since the release of Beta version 1 in July. We reviewed those new features at the Beta’s launch, but the highlights include an automatic spell checker for text typed into almost any field, automatic restoration of tabs that were open in the event of a crash, anti-phishing protection and a snazzy new default look.
