    Ooh, I just installed FF2, and it's great =D

    It looks great (although suspiciously similar to Opera) and has a few cool new features. So far my favorite is the a spell checker for text fields ;) (no more n00by typos for me)


    You can download it and check out the new features here:

    The spell checker is an awesome feature, too. I'm a FFWhore. I've got so many add-ons, extentions, themes. XD

    Yes I love the new feature, ff2 is so much better. I like it because ff is easier to rs on and now since it's faster makes it easier for me to get profits xD

    ff2

    I've also noticed that its mem usage stays at around 50,000k, whereas the old one was always on 150,000k+ and occasionally 200,000k o_o

    I love firefox :). With all its plugins and a few greasemonkey scripts it makes playing neopets a breeze.

    ff2

    Mine didn't update itself either, I just happened to see it on the Firefox Google homepage.

    It was released December 19th 2006

    It's pretty awesome.
    I hate IE7.
    No custom anything.
    Because FF is open source, we can customize.
    So FF rules.

    IE 7 can be customized... T.T please don't start the browser war... IE 7 is pretty good in it's own right

    FF2 is amazing compared to the last version, especially concerning memory usuage.... just make sure not to load it down with a lot of different plugins.

    I do recomment getting the adblock plugin, as it's so nice seeing neopets the way it used to be.... advertisement free!
