Firefox 2.0 Beta 2 Released

The latest beta release for the upcoming Firefox 2.0 browser is ready for download via mozilla.org.

Here’s what’s new:

• New look and feel
• Improved tabbed browsing
• Improved session restore feature
• New Windows installer
• Built in phishing protection
• Enhanced search capabilities
• Inline spell checking
• Live titles
• Improved add-ons manager

For more info on improvements, view the Firefox Beta 2 release notes.

So far, the beta 2 release seems fairly impressive. I like the new look, the browsing experience is smooth, and there hasn’t been any crashes (a major problem with the beta 1 candidate.)

The finished version of Firefox 2.0 is scheduled for release on October 24th.
