Firefox 2.0 Beta 1

[Dr. Z]

No idea how long this has been out but I thought I would make a post here about it anyway.

Visibly, it is no different to 1.5 but it has some reasonably cool features straight out of the box!

You can now recover lost tabs (last one you closed or the whole lot of your browser crashes) which is something you could do from an extension but now it is supported from the off. It works well, too!

It has a built in spelling checker. Not something that I personally felt I would use a great deal but what it does do is highlight typos - something which is HUGELY useful for posters like me who tend to type faster than their fingers can follow

It hasn't crashed on me yet and I have been using it all evening but it is using a whopping 120Mb of RAM I would guess that would be sorted by the time it comes out of beta (1.5 was hungry but not THAT hungry!!)

In all, it gets a two thumbs fresh from me and is well worth checking out if you can spare the RAM!
