nothing new to learn that I can see
Wrongly spelled words show up with a red line under them. Highlight the word and right click and alternate spellings show up for that word

I like when spelling nazis make fun of my spelling. It shows thats...

#1 The bbs was never a job application and people's lives dont depend on it. So I couldnt give a flying hoot.
#2 They are losing a argument/debate and resort to changing the subject.


EDIT: I'll try it out just for you. :p  (Firefox 2 that is.)

its actually improved , but mostly the same interface (just a few changes )

you have to do some toolbar customizing to get the noscript /video downloader ect back visable .  most of the themes and extensions are already updated with  more updated versons available each day .

it now uses less ram and loads faster to ... and whats really cool is the browser crash option ... you can reopen it to the pages that were open when it crashed automatically (way cool )

With Firefox 1.XX there are spell checker / dictionary / translation panel / UBB / HTML code extensions etc...

Plain Jane Firefox ain't much until you figure out what extensions serve you best.

ive had the beta on my spare pc for over 2 months , they really got it up to speed and its fully functional . Its the themes and addons that are still catching up . all the good security adds are fully functional and work so theres no need to wait .

Not like the windows integrated ftp using windows explorer. FireFTP work likes any other FTP client like smartftp.

I know but why wait for it to do it automatically?
Besides what if they don't put that in yet?
