Firefox 2 has been released. Download it at www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0&os=win&lang=en-GB Take your time about installing it if you like to use either AutoForm or AutoFill - these are not compatible with version 2. No doubt they will be updated soon.
A lovely feature is web form spell checking - and it is possible to install a British English dictionary. There does not appear to be the facility to call up suggested replacements, but my bet would be that this will be added soon. As soon as I typed 'AutoForm', a pretty red line appeared underneath the word to show it is not in the dictionary. This is going to save me from some mockery from Nat (also underlined) ;D ;D ;D
For the curious but not yet converted, read the release notes at en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0/releasenotes
Incidentally, those of you using Firefox's Adblock extension should have a look at Filterset.G at addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136. This is a set of ad filters that updates every few days. I had an extensive filter set but the occasional ad would sneak through. I haven't seen one since I installed Filterset.G.
