If you’ve given the newly-released Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 a spin, you’ve noticed that there aren’t a lot of eye-popping new features. However, there are some subtle improvements that make it a nice upgrade. After the jump, screenshots of the few things I noticed.

In addition to built-in spellchecker shown above, Fx 2.0 also has close buttons on every individual tab - a much-needed feature (especially on Mac OS X.) There’s also better (but still not great) RSS integration. When you click on a site’s feed icon (at the far end of the address bar), a preview page with the option to choose your feed reader appears.
