Got into the office this morning to find an email from Mozilla awaiting me, telling me that the new Firefox 2 beta 1 is now ready for download. Though the pointy-heads point out this isn't for everyone ("Firefox 2 Beta 1 is intended for web application developers and Firefox's testing community only") but new features include:
Built-in Phishing Protection Better support for previewing and subscribing to web feeds Inline spell checking New microsummaries feature for bookmarks Automatic restoration of a browsing session Changes to tabbed browsing behaviour Search suggestions now appear with search history Search plugin manager for removing and re-ordering search engines New combined and improved Add-Ons manager for extensions and themes Support for JavaScript 1.7 Extended search plugin format Updates to the extension system Support for client-side session and persistent storage Support for SVG text using svg:textPath New Windows installer
I haven't tried it out yet, but if you do - normal caveats apply - then let us know what you think.
