Firefox 2 RC2

Firefox 2

Recently I downloaded Firefox 2 RC2. While I have not examined it too closely, there are two very cool features that make it worth downloading. The first one is simply Google Suggest built right into the search. It’s a pretty neat feature, especially because before getting Firefox, Google Suggest was my search of choice. Since getting Firefox, I have used the easy to access search bar that is top right. The next feature, however, makes RC2 worthwhile.

In this latest build of Firefox, an auto spell check for text boxes has been added. That means any text box you type into is automatically spell checked by Firefox. Before this, I have had to copy and paste anything into a website I used called SpellCheck.net. It is not a pretty site, but it gets the job done. Now, however, I have one less step I need to complete. AND just like in Word, you can Add to Dictionary. Later!
