The great open source browser, Firefox, has reached a new milestone with the release of version 2.0.

I’ve been using it for the last day or so and I’m impressed. There’s a spell checker for forms, which makes writing blog posts like this much nicer, there are also new tools for reporting phishing sites and sites that aren’t compatible with Firefox, so that the Firefox team can check them out.

Also, tab handling has been improved. There’s now a menu entry that shows recently closed tabs, which is very useful. I’m always closing tabs I didn’t mean to.

It’s not a ground-breaking release, but a nice incremental update that keeps Firefox comfortable ahead of the competition.
