I downloaded it and tested it thoroughly...Even though this edition is muuuch better than the previous (1.5.something) one, it still has some minor problems, most probably not noticeable if you don't push it to the limits...

Unfortunately, many of my add-ons don't work but it's not that much of a problem to wait some days...

Don't know about you, but firefox still teaches Internet explorer (7) a lesson or two

At last, I will get this in a few days, once most of my addons are compatible. I have got to a point where it is hard to live without them. The only reason I use FireFox is the addons, else I would have switched to Opera along time ago.
The spell check that is in the new version won't make much difference as am using the spellcheck on Google toolbar (Without the toolbar), which has served me fine.

@Amezis
The rest of the world don't seem to be getting the message that abbreviation is Fx, I have only seen it abbreviated to a FF, it just confuses everyone if you use Fx. I am wondering how they came up with Fx anyway, it doesn't make much sense when FireFox said aloud

@NDPA awesome fine this practically makes a web designers dream complete although I had to Google it since the main site wasn't showing it up but here is the link for it for those who want it.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/

@yacoby reason is Fx is the First Letter "F" and the last letter "x" is being used thats why

Yeh, I know, but I was just pointing out that FF makes more sense the Fx, as when it is said aloud you put more emphasis on the Fs than you do on the first F and the last x.

I misspelled "aloud" as "allowed" (now corrected) in my previous post which may have caused a changed the meaning slightly.

I hate firefox. it is not as good as any of the other browsers that there are in the world. IE is my favorite because it is the easiest to use and now tih the new tabs system it is sure to rock the world!!!

lol, you're saying this in a firefox thread... I think this version of firefox is definitely worth the try, and now almost all browser have the tabs features, and I just found out the latest version of netscape browser have the tabs features too! And now many famous browser have been releasing their new versions lately with their very own uniqueness and attractions which makes the competition stronger, which benefits us the user as they compete to provide better features and more stable browser to outlast their competitor to win our number 1 browser spots...

Wow, as usual another browser topic turning into browser war topic!

Anyway, the new version of Firefox is good and has got nice set of features. Like phishing protection, better security and the best thing, real time spell check feature. But the biggest problem, which most of us must have been facing is the unavailability of the updated plugins and that's why most of the people will still stick around with the old version. The one I miss the most is Tab Mix Plus.

As far as everyone speculations about the no. 1 browser spot is concerned, I'll like to contribute that IE still rules the market share... Can you imagine after IE 7 was released in just 4 days 3 Millions downloads were complete! Firefox is gaining popularity and thanks to all the fans out there but Firefox has to do a real hard work to reach to top.

You say that, but out of the twenty or so extensions I have installed on 1.5 the only two that are compatible with 2.0 are Stumble & Adblock Plus.

Its annoying as not only am I missing out on nearly all of them but every time I start up Firefox now it insists on checking for updates.

I don't really want to turn the auto check off just in case updates are available at some point, so I guess I am stuck with it...
