New Firefox.

[f0am]

I just updated to the latest version of Firefox, 2.0.0.1.
IT HAS BUILT IN SPELL CHECKING.
Never again will I post a post making me look unintelligent.

Yup. Loving it so far.

Welcome to 3 months ago.

I can't stand IE anymore after using Firefox for the last year.

Firefox makes browsing faster, and easy to open multiple windows at once.

I just installed it.

I was going to ask where you can get the spell check, but I misspelled something, and WA LA!

LOL, this is awesome!

How do you know which version you have? It says "new firefox" at the top left, but not the version.

It updates itself automatically. Sometimes when you open your browser it will notify you of a new update. It will prompt you to do it then or the next time you start the browser, this happens at least once or twice a month for me.

Just go to their website and do it yourself. It's painless.

You mean, some of you just found out about Firefox?

I've been using it for years. I donated to them, and my name put on a page with a giant Firefox logo that was put in the New York Times.

does firefox have this "super drag and drop" feature (I use maxthon)?

super drag and drop: I can left click on a link, drag it anywhere and drop it ... and it opens a new window with that link.

I can also open 30 windows at one time with maxthon and suffer no lag. (I think someone measured the memory maxthon uses vs. firefox and IE)

I can't say I've ever heard of Maxthon, but: if you have the tab bar showing in Firefox, click on something (images and links, at least), drag it to the tab bar, and release it. Firefox should open a new tab showing the picked object.

You have the option of either opening links in a new window, or opening them in the same window but in a different tab.

Ive used Firefox for about a year now, I used Mozilla before it became Firefox, and refused to change to Firefox for ever. Once Mozilla became a dead project and Firefox took over I switched. They are pretty much the same damn thing.

I must say that I was a bit concerned when I read that Firefox has some privacy issues to do with Google, but not concerned enough to read Mozilla's privacy statement.

For those of you who use MS IE you can download ieSpell. It installs itself on the tools menu. Do a Google search for it. Download and install. It's a very small add on. Although I mainly use Firefox ieSpell works quite well.

It was mentioned on Wiki a little while ago - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox - but now someone appears to have removed the part on privacy.
