BBloke Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi All, I've been using firefox for plenty of time and I've recently downloaded Ver 2 Beta. I have to say it just as sweet as previous incarnations with one great feature. A spell checker On the downside though, the majority of add-on extensions cease to work and there are few that have been updated but it is nice to see loads of reds limes under all the mistakes I've made. I'm sure you are all zipping along with firefox but thought it was a worthy note. Firefox Beta Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
