New Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 Web Browser Released
The second version of Mozilla’s Firefox web browser has finally released. The Mozilla Foundation worked really hard to finish up its Firefox 2.0 web browser. Beta 1 RC was released in early July and a month later it was announced that Mozilla was delaying Beta 2 due to some show-stopping bugs. This issue has been dealt with and the new version is finally out.
The new beta has a number of new features and enhancements, including some new visual effects (toolbar buttons now glow when you hover over them), built-in phishing protection, enhanced search capabilities, improved tabbed browsing with a close “X” on each tab, browser session restore and inline spell checking. The new antiphishing tool looks very much like the one in Opera 9 and the upcoming Internet Explorer 7 that warns users when they are entering a potentially malicious website.
Firefox 2.0 is currently scheduled for release on October 24.
