Mozilla Firefox 2 RC3 Released

Filed in: Downloads, Mozilla, Open Source — October 19th, 2006

Firefox 2 RC 3Mozilla released Firefox 2 RC 3, a version before the final Firefox 2.0 is released.

What’s new in Firefox 2?

Firefox 2 added many new features. Here are some notable features:

  • New Firefox theme — …but I prefer the Firefox 1.5 default theme.
  • Build-in phishing protection — protect your bank accounts
  • Improved tabbed browsing — every tab has a “close tab” button, unclose tab, etc without install any Firefox extension
  • Resuming browsing session — only after Firefox crashed. No guarantee that all tabs are saved.
  • Better feed support — can preview feed before subscribe, or subscribe feed using your own RSS reader.
  • Inline spell checking — check spelling as you type. No spelling suggestion.

Download Firefox 2

My two cents

After using Firefox 2 RC 3 for awhile, I felt that it is faster than Firefox 1.5, especially when flipping web pages backward and forward. The browser cache system improved a lot. :)

Tip: Using old Firefox extensions in Firefox 2
