Firefox 2.00

Just got my update and seems really good updated look and feel better feed subscriptions phishing protection and even more improved tabbed browsing ( is that possible ;-)).



things I like :

• spell check on web forms
• close button on each new tab
• opens web pages in new tabs rather than new windows by default
• The feed subscription your chosen rss reader aggregator is great
  
  
• session restore feature remebering last page your were looking at and where you were in say filling a form
  
  

basically well done all you mozilla developers its great !!!!!

gained 3.5 million sites last month to continue the dynamic growth seen
throughout 2006. In the November 2006 survey we received responses from 101,435,253 sites, up from 97.9 million sites last month."
